Westlake Village Garage Door Locks 1(805) 297-1254
As a homeowner, we want to feel safe and stress free about our homes being invaded. We think that only securing our doors and windows will suffice. Additionally, many of us don’t stop and think about the garage door. It is widely known that this part of a house is the weakest link to your home’s security.
We don’t think of this space because we use it to store unwanted items such as old clothes or simply use it as a storage. That is why it is the easiest way to break into a house.
Burglars roam around your neighborhood to watch out for any homeowners that are somewhat careless and are not watchful when it comes to maintaining their home’s security.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can my garage door opener work as a lock?
A: Yes, some garage door openers have dual purpose garage locks. Most systems work like regular electronic door locks that will require pass codes or finger print scanning. In addition, you can easily unlock some garage doors nowadays by using your smartphone or a remote control.
Can a garage door lock be customized?
A: Yes, most garage door openers can be customized, and that includes the garage door operator as well. The door lock for the garage may have a pass code entry, a biometric fingerprint entry, a manual key entry, or a combination of both.
Can you use your garage door locks even during a power outage?
A: The garage door lock can be used during a power outage due to it having an emergency manual mode to make sure that it is easy to operate even when there is no power.
Should I rely on the locking mechanism of the garage door if it is an automatic door?
