What security upgrades include
The technician reviews how your door could be attacked: the emergency release fish-through, weak manual locks, outdated openers with fixed codes, and dark approaches. Upgrades are then prioritized by impact and cost.
Common installations include release-cord shields, heavy-duty slide bolts, rolling-code smart openers with phone alerts, and cameras covering the driveway approach.

Why garages get targeted
Many homeowners leave the interior garage door unlocked, so breaching the garage means breaching the home. Older openers with fixed codes can be captured, and the emergency release can be fished with a coat hanger through the top gap.
The good news is that modest, inexpensive upgrades close nearly all of these gaps. A security review often takes less than an hour.
What happens when you call
Ask for a security assessment and we will match you with an independent local professional. The pro walks the property with you, explains vulnerabilities plainly, and quotes the upgrades you choose.
There is no pressure to buy everything at once. Many customers start with the release shield and smart opener, then add cameras later.
Start with a quick self-check tonight: try the emergency release from outside with a coat hanger through the top gap, and see whether your opener uses rolling codes. Whatever you find, share it when you call so the pro prioritizes the real gaps first.
