Your garage door opener is probably one of the most convenient features within your home, but you can make it even more so! Adding an outdoor keypad is an easy and pretty inexpensive way to take your garage door’s convenience to the next level while also adding some additional security. A keypad will provide you with effortless access inside your garage without any need for keys or remotes.

Added Convenience

With a garage door keypad installed you no longer will need to worry about finding and carrying your keys or remote around with you, just simply enter the code and you will gain access. Most keypads also have backlit buttons to make it easy to see in the dark. This can be super helpful when coming home in the dark as you won’t need to search your car or bag for your remote or keys. It can also be convenient to have a keypad if you have multiple people within your home or have guests that need access regularly. With a keypad you can simply provide the code to everyone who needs it without worrying about passing around remotes or purchasing additional ones. 

Security Improvement

Keypads offer additional security for your home. They can eliminate the need for remotes which can potentially become a security risk if they are lost or stolen. Sometimes criminals may break into cars to steal the remote so that they can gain access to your garage at a later time. Keypads require a unique code to open the door so only those individuals who have the code will be able to access the garage. 

Easy Access for Regular Guests, Visitors or Service Workers

Keypads are extremely useful for those who have frequent visitors or service workers coming to their home. Temporary or even one-time access codes can be set up so these individuals can have access if you aren’t home. You can even set times that these codes will work during and can disable them when access is no longer needed. This feature can be so helpful if you have contractors, a house keeper, or a pet sitter that will need entry. 

No More Lost Remotes

Remotes are no longer necessary! How many times have you lost your remote and been in a panic searching? Keypads will save you the hassle especially if you are prone to losing things. Plus, even if you do lose your remote, you will still be able to access your garage. 

Weather Resistant

Keypads are built to withstand any type of weather, whether that is rain, snow or extreme temperatures. They are made to be reliable so that you can count on them to work regardless of what is going on outside. 

Installing a keypad can be a wise decision for all homeowners. There are so many benefits which can truly have a positive impact on your daily life by adding convenience and increasing your home security. You won’t regret this small investment for your home!
