Title: I need to settle an argument Post by: DittoBabyGirl on May 10, 2005, 10:34:44 AM I know this isn't an ATV post...but its a Florida post so here goes:
How many of you have your alarm keypads in your gararge and not your front door? My husband insists that people in Florida don't come in thru their front doors...that they ALL come in thru their gararges. I personally prefer to come in thru the front door and therefore want the keypad by the front door.Am I being unrealistic? Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: gery350 on May 10, 2005, 10:40:59 AM compromise. put 1 in the garage and one next to the front door. you can have two entry points in an alarm.

Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: CAOSPOP on May 10, 2005, 11:00:21 AM does it matter where the keypad goes ?
the alarm should go off upon entry. Or forced entry. Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: gery350 on May 10, 2005, 11:03:18 AM well you have to program the panel to the entry point(s). the position of the keypad doesnt matter but which entry point you use does.

Too many toys in the garage. Dune buggy, 2 bikes. A spare vw engine...a spare dodge engine (going soon...anyone want a rebuildable 318 (ran when it came out)). Easier to go through the front.

We have a double deabolt on the front, so the garage is easier, and we still have cars and toys in the garage too. A second keypad is a lot less money and heartache than a divorce ;D LOL j/k, compromise is usually a good thing in a case like this.
Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: GaryinSeffner on May 10, 2005, 12:51:16 PM WE USE THE FRONT DOOR. I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT IT WAS FOR? ??? ;D
HEY WHATS UP WITH THE VW ENGINE? ;D NOBODY WANTS THAT DODGE THING! Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: big-daddy on May 10, 2005, 01:00:35 PM The need for one in the gararge is when you open the gararge down and trip the delay entry mode, you can turn it off from the gararge. but you also need one inside the house when you go to bed. Two is best, I have 3, one in the bedroom so I know what zone when off.

Your husband is right. Everybody uses the garage in Florida. We've been in our House almost 8 yrs and I just got a front door key last year when I put in a new front door. ;D Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: LakeMaryKid on May 10, 2005, 06:47:55 PM Quote Ours are by the garage door and one in the bedroom.

Only one person and thats because they dont have a garage. Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: Chuck_Norris on May 10, 2005, 07:07:41 PM Quote I go throuh the front door!

Tim I gotta agree there are alot of toys in my Garage also but that is where I prefere to come in. keeps front the entry way clean and free of dirty foot tracks.

Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: cain73 on May 10, 2005, 08:11:33 PM I use the front door. My garage is just to work in or store my toys. It's surprising to know how many of you don't use the front door. Does that mean that you only use your garage opener and don't lick the door from your garage to your house? Or doyou just use the key there instead of onthe front door? The reason I ask is that a friend of mine insisted that he has driven around avrious neighborhoods and used his garage remote to open many other garage doors just for laughs. I doubted this until he insisted that I accompany him on such a ride. There are many garage door openers use roaming codes to combat this, but there are alot of garages out there where people have older door openers or lower quality units without the roaming code feature. If you are only using the garage door to come in please do yourself a favor and make sure that you lock the door from the garage to the house. It's a shame that we have to go to great lengths to make sure our stuff stays ours, but in todays society it is necessary.
Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: DittoBabyGirl on May 10, 2005, 10:08:34 PM Ok...so lots of you use your gararge (and I must admit I like the idea of not tracking all the dirt thru the front door)
BUT I agree with Cain...anyone with a universal remote can open your gararge door...unless you have the power turned off or a bar in the track. Thats how we keep ours locked now SO...how would you get in the gararge if you can't open it from the outside? You'd have to go thru the front door...which is why I want one by the front door. I'm not about to try to run into the gararge and shut the alarm off in time lol So I guess I win! ;D Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: HondaBeaterSFL on May 11, 2005, 07:45:46 AM I always use the back door, its easier. I know its strange but Jim would understand.
Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: 1uglykawasaki on May 12, 2005, 07:46:07 AM I have lived in my house for two years now and the only time I used the front door is when I came home one day and my wife was letting her mother in the front. My wife parks her truck in the garage so she never comes in the front door. But now she wants a new front door with glass installed. Go figure!
Title: Re: I need to settle an argument Post by: dirty1 on May 15, 2005, 01:04:35 PM i think it is safer to have th gagrage door on a sensor that goes of instantly, especially when there are toys in it, if you dis arm the alarm when you go in through the gagrage that means theres a delay from when it opens to when it goes off to give you time to turn it off. that delay also enables a thief to grab something and go with it before the alarm sounds and draws attention...........FRONT DOOR
