Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see the opener
disconnect as being a major security vulnerability. And the poster
said you don't need windows in the door for it to be a security
issue? Now, that I totally don't get. Without a window, you'd have
to knock out a garage door panel to get to the rope. That assumes of
course, the garage door has an opener. And if you;re going to take
out a panel, why not just kick out one at ground level and crawl
through, where you don;'t care if it has an opener or not?

And then, if you're talking about breaking out a garage door window to
get to the rope release, how secure are any other doors/windows? If
you have a sliding glass door, or first level window, you can break
those for entry easily. I can see this as a security issue if you
have the rest of the house well secured and live in an area where
break-ins are common, but for the typical house, it;s a non issue.


Easier just to steal the opener code or bump the door lock. I see break ins
through doors and windows, no garage doors yet - maybe just too slow.
