6 handy reasons to install keyless entry for your garage door
Do you own a keyless car and enjoy the convenience it brings? Just like your car, your keyless entry garage door system can go keyless too, and it comes with its own distinct advantages.
A keyless garage door system features a small entry keypad that operates the door via a secure pin number, eliminating the need to carry separate keys. It can also serve as a handy backup to your external wireless garage door opener.
So, what are the benefits of having a keyless entry garage door system?
1. You’ll never get locked out
You’ll never have to worry about losing or forgetting your keys or remote again! Since there’s no need to carry anything, you can go walk the dog or go for a run without having to carry anything on you. You can easily gain access to your house with the keypad entry.
When you’re driving into your garage you tend to use the remote, but what if you lost it? Or gave it to another family member? Having keypad entry will ensure you can still get in.
2. Security
Your garage door keypad adds an extra layer of security to your property. If you have a home alarm system, the keyless entry garage door can be integrated with it, making it even harder for intruders to break in.
Another great feature is the ability to change the security pin code whenever you like. Some entry systems also allow you to create temporary pin numbers. For example, if a tradesperson needs to enter your house when you’re not there, if you’re going on holiday and have a house sitter, or if you have a babysitter looking after the kids, you can assign them a temporary code instead. This flexibility makes keyless garage door systems highly secure and practical.
3. Multiple access
Having a keyless entry garage door system means anyone in your family can come and go as they please. There’s no need to create multiple remotes or keys, wait around for someone to get home, or stay home just to let someone in.
4. No wiring is needed
Entry keypads are easy to install as no wiring is needed. They can be placed anywhere within range of your garage door’s sensors. It works by sending the information to the motor and when the correct pin number is entered, the door opens.
5. More reliable
Garage door keypads come with a battery backup and can also be installed with a surge protector. How many times has your remote control stopped working due to a dead battery? Keypads are therefore a more reliable way to operate your garage door.
6. Convenience
Quite simply, having a keyless entry garage door system is convenient. You no longer need to carry an extra set of keys or a remote every time you leave the house, and you reduce the risk of losing them (though you’ll want to remember your pin code!).
