IS YOUR GARAGE SECURE ENOUGH TO KEEP CRIMINALS
OUT?
2

• For many Americans, the garage also serves as an
  entranceway to the home, and thats why you must
  ensure that your garage door is as secure as any
  other door that gives access to your home try to
  think like a burglar while assessing the security
  of your garage door, and check whether you have
  taken any of the following safety measure
• Have you installed motion-activated flood lights?
• These are a simple and cost-effective deterrent
  against criminals, and when placed near the
  garage doors and windows, will make most burglars
  think twice about trying to get into your garage.

• Do you have a garage door sensor or automatic
  garage door closer?
• Many of us accidentally leave our garage doors
  open, or do it while were away for just a few
  minutes, thinking that itll be okay to do so for
  a short period of time. However, burglars are
  often opportunistic and a few minutes can be all
  it takes for them to gain unlawful entry to your
  garage or home. With a door sensor and/or an
  automatic door closer, the door closes (and if
  you have an automatic door lock, will lock, too)
  after a certain amount of time.

• Have you ensured all valuable items are out of
  sight?
• This is a safety measure you can take that wont
  cost you a dime try not leave any items of value
  where they can easily be seen by someone looking
  in from the outside.
• Do you have a smart garage door opener?
• This enables you to open and close your garage
  door from anywhere using your smartphone, and in
  some cases, will alert you to when it has been
  opened in your absence. To discuss smart opener
  technology in more detail, talk to your local,
  professional locksmith today.

• Have you adequately secured your side door?
• Side doors can often be broken into out of sight
  of neighbors, and burglars love them as a means
  of gaining entry to a home. Standard locks can be
  defeated with a well-placed kick, so consider
  upgrading your door with a deadbolt, and
  reinforced strike plate. Your local locksmith can
  perform an assessment of any doors that lead into
  your home, not just your side doors, and advise
  you as to whether you should upgrade any of the
  locks and bolts. Of course, none of these
  measures are any good if you dont remember to
  keep it locked, even when youre inside your
  garage or home.

• One locksmiths recommendation for reinforcing
  side doors, is to upgrade the strike plate and
  hang a solid core door with a deadbolt.
• To find out if your garage is secure enough, talk
  to your local locksmith about your existing
  security measures, and see if there are any ways
  in which it can be improved most will be happy
  to give you free, nonbiased guidance.
