TOP GARAGE DOOR SECURITY TIPS
2
  • As a well known weak spot for many homes, garages
    can be exploited by criminals if theyre not
    secured well enough, but by following the advice
    and guidance below, you can make it tougher for
    criminals to infiltrate your garage, and help
    protect both it, and your home
  • Lock it up when youre out of town
  • Your home is especially vulnerable when youre
    not there, whether if its for one hour, one
    night or one week, so be sure to lock it securely
    whenever youre away from home.

  • Have a locksmith check your garage
  • You might think your garage is secure, but
    someone experienced in home security is best
    placed to advise you about any extra precautions
    you should be taking, and a non-obligatory
    consultation with a local locksmith can be
    extremely helpful. From having your locks
    replaced, to checking your garage door opener,
    theyll carry out a thorough assessment of your
    garage and advise you of any potential upgrades
    or changes you should make to its overall
    security.

  • Opt for opaque glass windows
  • If your garage has windows, frost them or hang
    drapes or a blind to stop anyone from the outside
    being able to see in, or better yet, have them
    removed. While a lot will depend on what you use
    your garage for, ultimately, a window gives clear
    visibility to whatever is inside.

5
  • Keep it closed whenever youre not using it
  • It can be tempting to walk back inside the house,
    or even drive into town without closing the
    garage door behind you, but do this even once,
    and you could be asking for trouble. Opportunist
    thieves will rub their hands together in glee at
    the sight of an open garage door, while if you
    have a habit of leaving it open, thieves
    monitoring your home or neighborhood will notice
    this and target you the next time you go out, or
    even while youre inside your home.

6
  • Secure any internal doors, too
  • If you can gain access to your home through your
    garage, its important to make sure that any
    connecting doors are properly secured, and
    ideally, with a high-security lock such as a
    Mul-T-Lock.
  • Watch where you leave your garage door opener
  • A garage door opener left inside your car might
    add convenience when youre returning home, but
    anything left in a parked car is vulnerable to
    theft, so its better to keep it attached to a
    keychain on your person.

7
  • Garages can be wonderfully useful spaces, but if
    you neglect to take adequate security measures to
    protect it, it can put your entire home at risk.
    To check whether your garage door is secure
    enough, ask your local locksmith to test it out.
