When your garage door shuts the garage door deadbolt automatically detects this and throws the deadbolt. Finally your existing garage door openers/fobs will be replaced by new ones that seamlessly unlock the deadbolt before signaling your garage door to open. If you have a wireless keypad outside of your garage door you will need to replace it with the one from Elocksys found in the product options below. Your existing wired push button inside your garage will still be usable to open/close your garage door (although if it has a light only function that may not work). If you have an existing electronic garage door opener the Elocksys garage door opener will be able to integrate with virtually no extra effort for opening/closing your garage door. You can use multiple keypads with one garage door opener, they just count towards the 8 total opener limit. It runs on easily replaceable batteries for over a year. It is meant to be mounted outside the garage for access without using one of the included key fobs. The optional wireless Elocksys keypad features a pin number between 4 and 6 numbers long for enhanced security and can be easily reprogrammed. When you use the included key fob it will automatically open/shut your garage door and lock/unlock the deadbolt with one button press. If you have an electronic / motorized garage door then you would replace your existing garage door openers with the ones included in the box.

Door deadbolt manual#

If you have a manual garage door (no motor) then you would simply use the key fob to unlock the garage door before opening it by hand. It comes with two keychain fobs/remotes by default (you can order up to 8) that are used for unlocking your garage door.

Door deadbolt code#

The garage door lock uses secure rolling code technology to prevent easy interception or opening of your garage door remotely. In case of emergency there is a lever on the garage door lock that can be used to manually retract the bolt (in which case the emergency release will then work like normal) and it is far harder to manipulate from the outside. When you open your garage door the deadbolt is automatically retracted out of the track before the door opens. This prevents the garage door from being opened even if the emergency release is pulled. When your garage door closes it automatically throws a heavy duty steel bolt into the track of your garage door. The garage door lock is an automatic deadbolt for your garage door. The Elocksys garage door deadbolt however uses secure rolling code technology to make your existing fixed code garage door opener secure. Older garage doors used fixed codes for remote opening, this allowed a burglar with a special tool (or a lucky neighbor who’s garage is on the same code) to easily open your garage door. Helps secure older fixed code garage doors Garages are frequently the source of useful tools for a burglar even if not directly attached to the house. Garages also provide a large and easy method of access for getting goods out of the house. In addition garages allows criminals to stage property to remove from the premises. Garage doors are frequently a target for criminals as once they are inside they have nearly unlimited time to break into the rest of the house and they cannot be seen. Criminals can very easily use a tool, similar to a coat hanger, to easily hook the emergency release through the top of the garage door and pull it from the outside.

Normal garages are highly susceptible to attack due to the emergency release handle/cable located on the inside of the garage door near the top of the door.

It supports its own wireless keypad and your existing wired garage door button inside of your garage.
