If you are using a wireless garage door opener, you would definitely be worried about the security. Some careless mistakes can give an intruder access your garage and even to your home. Therefore, it is very important to follow some security steps regarding your garage door remote and opener.
It is a matter of fact that varying radio frequencies are used to open and close the garage doors. The opener and the remote have communication with the use of radio frequencies and it is important to reconfigure the settings on the dip switches to make your garage even more secure.
The dip switch is usually located on the remote control clicker and the opener. You may even be required to open up the remote control if the switch cannot be found where the batteries are placed. You can do this by removing the screws and on the remote and getting access to the dip switches. You can alter the configuration to match that is on the opener. The patterns should be same on both the units for the remote to work and if you have any confusion doing this, you can always refer to the manual and learn more.
It is not always a good idea to stay with the default settings. This way anyone who has a compatible remote will be able to get access to your garage and you home. You can easily mix up the switch patterns and no one will ever be able to guess and enter your garage. This also applies if you are renting an apartment or are planning to move to a new home.
