Your article is not only filled with helpful tips, it is well written and fun to read. One thing I noticed Mr. Weberg did not mention was that many modern garage door openers have a "vacation lock" feature on their control panel. LiftMaster's Smart Control Panel, for example, includes one button that locks out all remote control access. While rolling code technology helps control unwanted access by code crackers (intruders who try to crack the remote control code on garage door openers), the vacation lock feature locks out all remote controls while you are on vacation or away. To make it easier on intruders, many homeowners actually leave their remote control in a car parked outside the garage. Not good. Chamberlain, who makes LiftMaster and private labels many other garage door opener brands, also has a feature called PosiLock that electronically secures a closed garage door. I'm very frugal and believe in making old things last; however, your readers should do their homework when buying a garage door opener. Some of the more modern security and safety features are well worth a look. Keep writing and be well. Pat GarageHowTo.com Hi Eric,
