Keeping track of garage door openers

[Phillip Syrios]

Anyone have a good system for keeping track of lots of garage door opener remotes? We manager about 400 units and with keys we have a pretty simple system with a locked cabinet in our office where we have all the spare keys.

Garage door opener remotes seem to be a unique problem. First they are much bigger, but we also don't need a spot for all openers as we don't keep them on file.

I don't trust tenants leaving them at the property as it can create a lot of chaos when they are not found or they end up disappearing and the new tenant can't find them.

Anther tip is that you should ALWAYS clear the paired remotes even if they turn in the original working remotes. Why? They might have paired their vehicles or an aftermarket remote to the garage opener. For example, in my home, I paired my vehicle's embedded remotes to my garage opener. If I were a tenant, I would turn in the original remotes but would still have access via my vehicle.
