The Door Company (TDC) would like to educate consumers about the steps they can take to protect their homes against garage door hacking Online PR News � 01-August-2018 These days it is not only computers and cell phones that can be hacked; now thieves are finding ways to enter your home by hacking into your garage door opener. As one of Northern Californias leading garage door companies, The Door Company (TDC) would like to educate consumers about the steps they can take to protect their homes. The days when an opener simply opens and closes your garage door are past; todays garage door openers can now alert you on your mobile device when your door has been opened or closed, lock out transmitter use when you are on vacation, turn on your garage light and provide additional safety with contact and non-contact reversing devices. Unfortunately, many older garage doors use the fixed code system, which is not secure, notes TDC President, President Mark Stuenkel. We recommend searching the manufacturer and the model of your garage door opener to ensure that the remote uses rolling codes. If not, it is time for an upgrade. TDC offers automatic garage door openers featuring rolling-code technology, where the remote transmits a brand new security code each time the homeowner uses the remote. Since there are over 100 billion codes, the likelihood of a code grabber working is very slim. If you don’t yet have rolling code technology, TDC recommends the following safety tips: While out of town, unplug the garage door opener unit or use a vacation lock on the wall console switch, which is an optional accessory on some garage door openers. Another way garage door break-ins occur is when a thief has the chance to steal the garage opener from your car. Its just a matter of tracing your license plate or VIN number back to your address, TDC President, President Mark Stuenkel. Thats why you should never leave your garage door opener in plain sight and always lock your car door. If your remote opener is vulnerable, or if youre looking to replace your garage door, contact The Door Company to find out more about the safety features built into new installations, including rolling code remote openers. ### For more information about The Door Companys products and services visit http://www.thedoorco.net/. |
