How Does It Work?
The Garage Door Lock control electronics mount on the side of your existing garage door opener.
Garage Door Lock connects to the bell switch terminals of your opener.
GARAGE DOORS Standard locks on garage doors are easily pried, allowing a burglar- undetected access to your home. Cane bolts and hasps installed on the inside of the door provide excellent protection. Make certain each side of the garage door is secured to prevent prying open a crawl space. The door leading from the garage into the house should always be securely locked. The more barriers you provide against the burglar, the better protected you are.

When your door is closed, the lock heads, which are securely mounted on your garage door, extend a solid steel bolt to keep the door from moving.
• Two different remotes are not required to operate this system, the remote provided with your garage door lock kit does it all.
• The Garage Door Lock kit works with all brands of garage door openers.
For extra security, the Garage Door Lock turns off the power to fixed code openers. This ensures the opener does not respond to any signals.
Helpful Hints:
1. Garages -- Should be as secure as any other area of the house because:
A. They often contain ladders and tools, which could be helpful to a burglar.
B. Attached garages provide visual cover for a burglary.
2. House Number -- Should be clearly displayed front and back.
3. Lights -- Exterior floodlights (front and back) and over garage are recommended.
Interior - timed lighting devices should be utilized when not at home.
4. Basement Windows -- Often overlooked by homeowners, basement windows should be secured to prevent forcing. Window locks should not be vulnerable if the glass is broken. Screening materials can be used effectively on these window wells or on window framing.
5. Doors -- Solid core wood doors with rugged frames that cannot spread apart with a pry bar are recommended.
6. Door Locks -- Quality dead bolt locks having a minimum 1-inch throw are recommended. These should be mounted so one cannot open the door after breaking a window. Mounting the lock low on the door can some- times eliminate this problem. In other cases, a double cylinder lock will solve the problem.
7. Shrubs -- Should be kept low enough so as not to block possible points of entry or to conceal a potential attacker.
8. Windows -- Glass is most vulnerable to attack. Fortunately, many burglars are reluctant to break windows because of noise and because windows are often visible from the street or from neighboring dwellings. Windows hidden from view must be most securely protected!
