Garage Door Openers and Garage Security Automatic garage door openers are a great convenience, but they can also serve as a weak link in your garage security. Garage door openers are equipped with an emergency release lever, which usually has a cord hanging down. This lever is largely ignored until such time as you lose power and can no longer open the garage door automatically. Pull the lever down, though, and you can raise the door manually. That same lever can also help you get into the house if you find yourself locked out. This video shows how you can use a clothes hanger from outside to pull the lever inside. Once you do, you can lift the door.

Unfortunately, you are not the only one who can do that, and that's where the matter of garage security comes in. Anyone with a clothes hanger can do the same thing. It’s a pretty easy way to break into a garage, and from there it can be even easier to get into the house. If you would like to make this easy access a little bit harder or eliminate it all together, here are some ideas you might want to try for increasing garage security. Keep in mind, though, that this only applies to garages and garage door openers that are like that one shown in the video. Increasing Garage Security Disable the emergency release lever. In most cases, this is the best way to keep someone from using the coat hanger trick to break into your house. Of course, it also means that you won’t be able to get in this way yourself. Remove the cord. The cord attached to the emergency release lever is a minor convenience when you need to trip the lever. It is also something relatively easy to grab onto from outside using a clothes hanger. Lock the release lever. On some garage door openers, you can use a plastic cable tie or some thin wire to tie the level to the carriage assembly it is attached to. The lever always has a hole in it (to attach the release cord) and some carriage assemblies have holes you can run the cable tie or wire through. If yours doesn’t, you can drill a hole. The idea is that you just need to make it virtually impossible for a flimsy coat hanger to be able to pull the lever down, while, at the same time, allowing you to cut or remove your simple lock from inside the garage. Cover the windows. It is much easier to use a clothes hanger to trip the emergency release lever if you can see what you are doing. Without a clear window to do so, the job requires more time and effort. Even frosted windows will increase garage security, with the added benefit of allowing light to get in. Forget the automatic garage door opener. Going “old school” will get you added garage security, but at the cost of convenience. Disconnect the garage door opener and use a manual latch to lock the door. This means that you have to get out of the car when you get home, unlock the door and lift it yourself. Just like the old days. It also means that someone without the key will not be able to do the same thing.

Install a wireless keypad. I have one of these and I use it often. Whether you’re locked out of the house, or you just want to get into the garage without going inside or hunting for a remote, a wireless keypad is a great addition.
