Garage Security Tips & Tricks

Some of the best ways to keep your garage secure are the simplest ones. In fact, the best possible way to prevent theft or damage to property inside your garage is to keep the garage door closed when it’s not in use. Thieves often visit safe, quiet neighborhoods looking for crimes of opportunity and it only takes a few seconds for someone to enter your home and abscond with your property. In addition to making sure that your garage door is closed, it’s a good idea to choose a windowless garage door to minimize possible points of entry.

You should also give serious consideration to garage door security enhancements. Does your garage door have an automatic opener? If so, we recommend carrying it with you rather than leaving it in your vehicle. If you leave your opener in the car, all it takes is one quick break-in and a thief could have access to your entire home. Does your garage have a lock on the hinged door? It’s a good idea to have an Advanced Lock & Security locksmith check your doors and entry ways as well as to install a deadbolt on the door between the garage and house. Our experienced security technicians have the knowledge-base and expertise to install the locking mechanisms you need, such as a manual lock, a c-clamp, or other securing device.

In addition to locks, deadbolts, clamps, and other hardware, Advanced Lock & Security is your local Pennsylvania resource for CCTV surveillance, motion detection, and more. Our security and surveillance experts can install cameras and motion detector lights to capture evidence and deter would-be burglars altogether. Something as simple as motion detector lights on your garage or shed can go a long way when it comes to preventing a break in and violation of your storage.
