Home Security and Your Garage

<!– @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

Unless you’re the unwanted stepchild, you probably don’t live inside your home’s garage, but you should still guard it with the home security measures you use on the rest of your house. A garage can serve as both a direct entrance into your home or at least provide the tools to make home entry possible. Furthermore, there are other items of value kept inside your garage, not least importantly of which is your car.

If your garage attaches to your home, it’s only a matter of breaking into your garage before a burglar has access to an interior door. From there, they can use the tools inside your garage, such as a crowbar or another blunt object to break into your door. They could even use a screwdriver to dismantle your door’s lock. By giving easy access to your garage, it’s practically an invitation into your home, even if the rest of your house is heavily guarded. If you have a home alarm for the rest of your house, make sure it extends to your garage door.

Even if your garage is separate from your house, the burglar can still use tools found in the garage to break into the house. You may want to consider getting a glass-break detector alarm system in case a burglar tries to use a garden shovel or other heavy tool to break in a window.

Also, by providing easy access to your garage, you also make a convenient place for a burglar to conceal himself as he breaks into your car. It’s important that you have a car alarm even if you believe your car to be safe locked in a garage. For items like motorcycles, bicycles or other tempting items to steal, keep them chained up to a wall or a heavy, unmovable object.

Furthermore, don’t leave your garage open for long periods of time, advertising its contents to the world. Tools themselves are hot items for resale on the black market and could be expensive to replace. You should keep your tools marked to make them harder to resell and ultimately of less value to the thief.

To deter burglars from trying to break into your garage, use motion detector lights and visible camera systems. Also, don’t skimp by buying cheap locks or doors. Think of your garage door as you would your front door and use a deadbolt and a thick, enforced door. Windows should be reinforced with bars or with additional glass-break detector alarms.

As far as your remote garage door opener, get one that automatically lights the inside of the garage. This way, you can see if anyone is in your garage already before you are already trapped inside with them. Use a padlock to lock this door up overnight for added protection.

If you apply all of these home security measures to your garage, you can be sure that your car, tools, bikes and your even your house will all be at low risk for a break-in.
