PostHeaderIcon Is it Possible to Make Your Garage More Secure with a Clicker Garage Door Opener?


Yes it is! In fact, when using a clicker garage door opener there is some simple steps that you can follow in order to enhance the level of security for your garage.

If you have a garage that connects directly to your residence, this will also increase the level of home security so that your loved ones feel safe.

A clicker garage door opener communicates with the opener system by different radio frequencies.

These frequencies direct the unit to open and close the garage door when needed.

There are tiny switches that are otherwise known as dip switches which are used to adjust the frequency signals used between the two components.

In order to make sure that your garage is secure, I suggest that you reconfigure the dip switch settings every few months. This will help prevent potential vandalism from occurring.

What is a dip switch? A dip switch is a small block of plastic that is similar to the size of a dice that has been cut in half. The switches are typically blue or red in color with eight to ten tiny levers that are either positioned up or down. An important factor to keep in mind is that in order for the clicker garage door opener to successfully operate the garage door, it must be able to properly communicate with the opener system. If you discover that the unit is not working properly, check to make sure that the up/down switch patterns match on both devices.

The dip switches should be easy to locate on the opener system as well as on the clicker garage door opener. Keep in mind that in order to gain access to the dip switch on the remote unit, you may need to open it up. This is only necessary if you cannot find the dip switch in the batter compartment of the clicker garage door opener.

Simply remove the screws that hold the remote unit together, or if there are no screws, carefully pry it apart. Now that you have access to the dip switch, scramble the switch positions and then match the positions on the switch block of the clicker garage door opener. How the pattern looks is not important as long as it is a random pattern that would be difficult for someone to guess!

If you still have trouble getting the clicker garage door opener to work after doing this, verify that the dip switch patterns on both units are the same. The issue may be as simple as the patterns being completely different! Next, check the battery in the remote unit to make sure that it is in good condition. If you are still having problems getting your clicker garage door opener to work properly, you may just have to read the manual. If all else fails, you should be able to contact the manufacturer directly to ask any potential questions that you may have on your clicker garage door opener.
