DIY Ways For You To Keep Your Garage Safe And Secure
Here we have a list of some more ways that you can make your garage safe and unappealing to intruders without breaking the bank.
- Keep the door(s) shut and locked at all times
- Always keep that area well lit
- Cover up any garage windows
- DO NOT share your security code with anyone
- Bring your garage keys with you when leaving the house
- Hide your garage door opener in your car so it’s not visible to those passing by
Securing Your Garage While You’re Away
A large number of garage/home break ins occur while people are away on vacations or business trips. If intruders are watching the area then they will see that you have been gone for a while and that your home and garage are now prime targets for a break-in.
To give some added security to your overhead garage door you could try adding a padlock to the front of the door, some people also “lock” their door by unplugging the garage door opener as well. These both give added security to your already locked garage door and will make it a lot harder to be opened up.
Your Garage Is Your First Line Of Defense
The garage door is usually the easiest way to gain access to a home, it more than likely will be the way that any intruder will break into your home. So you will want to be very sure that your garage doors and windows are fully secured because if an intruder has to struggle to open the door they will probably just leave, they want as little disturbance as possible.
