PebbleCreek Community Service and Patrol – November 2014

Garage Door Monitor

Do you forget to close your garage door every once in a while? Can you not shut it because it’s broken, and you haven’t got round to calling a repair firm similar to Garage Doors Charlotte? Have you received a call late at night from Community Services that your garage is open? Tired of getting Courtesy Notices or an occasional citation because you already had several Courtesy Notices in the last year?

Community Services would like to advise you of a couple products that are available to help you keep your house safe by assisting you with your garage door. Several PebbleCreek homeowners have installed different reminders or automatic garage door closers for the convenience of not worrying, “did I close my door?”

Here are a couple of suggestions if you are interested. We found these available at many home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot as well as online at outlets such as Amazon.com. They can easily installed by yourself if you are handy around the house or there are several handymen around PebbleCreek that install them.

PebbleCreek Community Services/Patrol does not endorse any of the different manufactures or installers but in an effort to assist our homeowners have included a couple of examples of different products we found online by simply Googling Garage Door Closers. Also, if you’re looking to upgrade your garage door set-up, check out these automatic roll up door systems. Great for the homeowner who wants extra security.
