A lot of expensive items can be stored in the garage. Your car may be in there, obviously, but many people will also store power tools or bulky sports equipment in their garage. Many garages are away from the house, so could prove an easy target to burglars seeking rich pickings away from the sleeping inhabitants of the home. Here are some tips to help you improve the security of your garage.
- Security Lights. Motion detector lights are convenient for you when you drop your car keys on your driveway. They also act as a deterrent to would-be burglars.
- Burglar Alarm. Home security systems let off a fearsome sound that will alert you to the fact that someone is trying to break in to your garage – enabling you to call the police.
- Locked Windows. Don’t make it easy for a burglar to gain entrance to your garage by leaving your windows unsecured.
- A New Door from Automated Garage Doors and Gates. We supply and install roller doors manufactured by Warm Protection that have a built-in alarm system that will trigger if excessive pressure is placed on the lock or underneath the closed door.
- Take the Control Indoors with You. Do you know a really common way that garages get broken into? People leave the transmitter for the automated doors in their car and a burglar can smash the window and open your garage at the touch of a button. Don’t be that person, make sure that you bring the control inside.
- Extra Security Measures. We can install numeric keypads that require a combination or even fingerprint recognition technology to make sure that your door only responds to you.
