| National Night Out 2003 - Citizen Observer and Gaplock
Team Up to Provide "Security Tips for Automated Garage Doors"
National Night Out 2003 - Citizen Observer and Gaplock Team Up to Provide "Security Tips for Automated Garage Doors"LOS ANGELES - August 4, 2003 - CitizenObserver, the leader in connecting
communities and first responders, teams up with Gaplock, the automated lock for automated garage doors. Gaplock is CitizenObserver's sponsored product
for this year's "20th annual National Night Out", a unique crime and drug
prevention event scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2003. On that evening,
citizens, law enforcement agencies, community groups, businesses and local
officials from communities in all 50 states, US territories, Canadian
cities, and military bases worldwide will join together to heighten their
vigilance and participate in teaching people how to protect their homes.
"For over 30 million U.S. homes, the access opening most vulnerable to
invasion is the automated garage door," says Al Corbi, a highly regarded
security expert and panic room authority. "It's the weakest link in home
security."
Gaplock protects against commonly-practiced automated garage door invasion
techniques; such as: Corner-Pulling, Code-Grabbing, Release-Grabbing and
Back-Driving. At this year's National Night Out, CitizenObserver and
Gaplock will be providing "Security Tips for Automated Garage Doors," which
include three simple steps you can take to protect against these invasion
threats.
Step 1: Use a Sectional Roll-Up Garage Door - If you still have an older
style swingout garage door, replace it with a sectional roll-up garage door
to protect against the threat of Corner-Pulling.
Step 2: Only Use Rolling Code Remote Controls - If you are using fixed code
remote controls, replace them with rolling code remote controls to protect
against the risk of Code-Grabbing.
Step 3: Add an Automated Lock/Gaplock - That works with the automated opener
to:
* Automatically lock your garage door every time it is closed,
and unlock it before it is opened
* Protect against the threats of Release-Grabbing and
Back-Driving
* Eliminate the need to use manually operated locks, which
severely hamper automated garage door convenience and frequently result in
costly damage to the door and/or opener (when the opener is activated while
the door is still locked)
"One of CitizenObserver's most critical roles is to bring first responders
and communities together to share critical information including new
products that will help fight crime," says Robert Swedeen, Vice President of
Businesses Development for CitizenObserver. "Gaplock provides a unique
solution to a common security threat, and National Night Out is the ideal
event to share this solution with communities, neighborhood watch groups,
law enforcement and crime prevention to help make citizens less vulnerable
to home invasions."
