The Autocloser was designed to add security to existing garage door openers. According to statistics compiled by major metropolitan police departments, approximately half of all residential burglaries occur from open garage doors. The Autocloser addresses the need to keep your garage door closed by automatically shutting your garage door if you inadvertently leave it open.

The Autocloser attaches to most residential garage door openers and will automatically close the door after the user specified closing time. The times can be set to 2, 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Autocloser comes equipped with a disable button that will allow the door to remain open if needed.

Facts and Tips about Open Garage Doors

• Warnings have been issued by police not to leave your garage door open because you could become a victim of burglary. An open garage door is an invitation to take anything in it - your lawn mower, an expensive tool set, bicycles, golf clubs, your car (especially if your keys are in it), or any valuables stored in your car such as wallets, money, CDs or sunglasses.
• Many times homeowners who are gardening in the back yard leave their garage door open. A thief can enter the garage and even the house without you knowing. Even when you are home, a thief can walk right up to an open garage or car and grab your valuables without you ever knowing it.
• In 2004, the Peel Ontario Regional Police reported a total of 805 residential break and enters, of which 294 were attributed to open or unlocked garages.
• The latest teen craze in some areas is called "garage shopping", the teens' term for stealing from open garages.
