Tips to keep remotes safe

* Garage opener remote devices do not cost much these days, so you must not be reluctant when you are thinking of replacing them. It's to your best interest to get new high tech ones.

* The greatest advantage of remotes is that they communicate with openers directly and you can have them in the car, garage or in your pocket, but never leave them unattended in a public space or even in the house, if you have pets and small children.

* You should never trust them with people you don't know very well and you should certainly refrain from letting children play with them because they would love playing with the moving garage door and they might get hurt.

* You can keep a second remote hidden in a safe place, but the experts at garage door repair Palo Alto suggest using them alternatively, so that they can both keep their batteries alive.

* If the garage door opener transmitter takes simple batteries, you should keep some extra ones in the car and home and you must always take care of it by dusting it periodically.

Most garage motor remote devices get stolen when drivers leave them on plain sight in their unlocked car. You must remember that the streets are always dangerous both in California and all over the world.
