Protecting garages and outbuildings

There are many ways a security system can protect your home, but systems from WH Security can also help you protect your garage and outbuildings.

There are many ways a security system can protect your home, but systems from WH Security can also help you protect your garage and outbuildings. This is where people store vehicles, tools, holiday decorations and family keepsakes – and those items should be protected, as well.

If you’d like to know when your garage door is open and shut, we can install the LiftMaster myQ, which attaches to the garage door opener itself and allows you to open and close it remotely via WiFi. Many homeowners with heated garages rely on this technology as it allows them to know the status of the garage door so they aren’t sending all that heat outside.

WH Security also offers track-mount sensors. These clamp onto the track and a magnet stays on the door itself. When the two separate, the system knows the door is open. Technicians can accommodate a vehicle coming and going by extending the delay time. This gives drivers up to 2 minutes to open the door, park the vehicle and disarm the system. Better yet, a key fob allows you to disarm the system even faster to avoid false alarms.

We can set up security sensors on traditional overhead garage doors, rollup doors, sliding pole-shed doors, and even airport hangar style doors. We also recommend putting sensors on garage and shed service doors and windows.

Have a detached garage or shed? If it’s close enough to your house and a keypad can be wired, you can secure it on the same system as your house. WH Security specialists will put it on a second partition so you can arm the garage and house independently.
