When it comes to our home security we’re sometimes overlook our garage doors security which turns then into a weak point. Here are 5 great tips to protect yourself from a potential break-in through your garage door:
Secure your garage door
The first step in the processes is always to make sure you don’t leave your garage door open for extended period of time even during the day when you’re at home. By keeping it closed at all times you’ll be able to prevent any opportunistic burglars who may be checking your home.
Lock the door that goes from your garage to your house
Most garages have an entryway that connects straight into the house and by making sure this door is always locked before you leave the house is highly important and an extra layer of protection against any intruder. This might cause slight inconvenience in having to unlock the door each time you enter your home but it’s worth it.
Keep Your Garage Remote Safe
Never leave your garage remote in your car if parked out side the garage and if you do leave it in the car and make it unvisible by storing it inside the glove compartment.
Maintain regularly your garage door opener
Inspect and maintain your garage door opener to ensure it functions properly at all times. Garage doors that don’t close securely all the way are just like leaving them opened wide open which could potentially allow easy access into the property with minimal effort from any intruder.
Install a lock from the inside
If you’re going away for an extended period of time installing additional padlocks on your garage door from the inside is an informed wise decision for added protection against forced entry.
