One other solution is that whoever it was in hollywood that first declared fanny packs to be 'uncool' needs to be 'drawn and quartered'. My little tiny remote is easy to access while i'm on my bike thanks to this amazing technology called a fanny pack.

I don't know how easy it would be, even with a fanny pack. There's going to be other stuff in there too, and even hitting the button when I'm holding the remote in my hand is hard with a glove, as the buttons are almost recessed. This design has the button protruding, making it much, much easier to press.

I would be afraid to have my garage able to be gotten into by anyone who happens to know where I live and has a screwdriver. But from a technical standpoint, I'm impressed with what you did, and as a mechanical engineer would love to have a 3D printer of my own! Nice work!

Buildings are different here, I live in an apartment complex and the garage is like a parking garage. Anyone can walk in behind someone who forgot to close the door, but there's not much they can do, since it's just parked cars and apartment doors.

For a few months, we even had the garage door stay completely open all the time, due to some power problems.

sounds cool. Yeah in that case i'd much rather use your bracket than my fanny pack!
