You could buy a replacement remote control system with a remote control. I electronically disabled my built in remote control receivers in my door openers, and replaced the remote control receivers with the more secure changing codes remote control receivers and remotes. The simple, non-changing code systems can easily be cloned by a criminal if the criminal is within a short distance of your location when you use your simple non-changing code remote control. Then the criminal returns later and opens your garage door with his cloned remote control. The more secure changing code system prevents that from occurring.
You also need to remove the emergency cord opener, and tie wrap the hardware. Otherwise, a criminal can open your overhead door in 30 seconds using a coat hanger. The criminal can then easily get into your house, if you don’t lock the service door from the garage to the house. A large percentage of people never lock the door between their house and garage.
