The garage door is often the largest door in the house \u2014 and sometimes the least protected. Good news: recent equipment has made huge progress. Here is what actually works.<\/p>\n
Some wall-mount openers, like the LiftMaster 98032, come with an automatic garage door lock<\/strong>: a motorized deadbolt physically locks the door on every close. Impossible to force it upward, even knowing burglars’ tricks.<\/p>\n With myQ connectivity on LiftMaster openers, you get a notification every time the door opens or closes \u2014 and you can close it remotely if it was left open. Recent models like the 6580L and 6690L even include an integrated video camera<\/strong>: you see what is happening in the garage live, with night vision on the 6690L.<\/p>\n In building parking garages, the classic intrusion is tailgating<\/strong> \u2014 slipping in behind a vehicle before the door closes. The most effective countermeasure: a high-speed door<\/a>, which drastically reduces the window of opportunity.<\/p>\nAlerts on your phone<\/h2>\n
