5 Ways to Make Your Garage Door Burglar-Proof
2

• All too often, garage doors are left without
  enough security measures, leaving them, and
  sometimes the home theyre attached to, poorly
  protected. A garage door that hasnt been
  burglar-proofed could easily be taken advantage
  of by opportunistic thieves, or indeed a criminal
  who has been monitoring your home for that very
  reason.
• Fortunately, there are ways to make your garage
  door less vulnerable to thieves and intruders,
  and with the help of a licensed locksmith, you
  can make it secure and safe relatively easily

• 1. Have an automatic door opener installed
• This is by far and wide the best way to make sure
  that your garage door is closed and locked even
  when youre at home, and your local locksmith can
  assist you with buying one, and having it
  installed.
• 2. Use a garage door monitor
• Whether your garage door isnt functioning as it
  should, or a family member has left it slightly
  ajar, both provide criminals with easy access to
  your garage, the goods inside it and even your
  home. With a garage door monitor, however, you
  can put pay to this problem, for good. The small
  device has a sensor that you

• can place in a convenient position. Most will
  work with whatever kind of garage door opener you
  happen to have.
• Have a security lock installed
• A high security lock will make it hard for even
  the most determined of thieves to get into your
  garage through the door, and heavy deadlocks made
  from galvanized steel are a popular choice. If
  youre unsure what type of lock to install on
  your garage door, consult with a residential
  locksmith.

• Put up motion sensor lights
• A well-lit home is typically a safer home, and
  keeping the area around your garage illuminated
  during the hours of darkness, can be a fantastic
  deterrent for burglars. Motion sensor lights work
  when movement is detected within a certain
  vicinity, and are popular because they dont stay
  on all the time only when needed. They are also
  helpful for when you come home at night time, to
  prevent you from stumbling around in the dark.

• Install a home security camera
• Increasingly more affordable with every passing
  year, home security cameras are growing in
  popularity with many homeowners seeking to add an
  extra layer of protection to their homes, and you
  could get your hands on one for less than a
  hundred bucks. If your camera has Wi-Fi
  connectivity and live stream access, you can
  receive alerts if any suspicious activity is
  spotted in and around your home and garage. Aside
  from this, cameras are often an effective
  deterrent for crime merely by their presence.

• If your garage door is in need of repair, dont
  delay calling your local, licensed locksmith who
  can come out and fix it for you before you fall
  prey to a thief or intruder. Its all well and
  good adding security measures to your garage
  door, but if its broken and needs to be
  repaired, those security measures could prove
  worthless.
