AAA Action Garage Doors Outlines How to Make a Garage Door More Secure
Use a Zip Tie to Increase Garage Door Security: Most people think that when the garage door is closed it is not able to be opened unless someone uses that garage door clicker. The garage door clicker is a way to initiate the motor but there is still a way to get the door open. There is an emergency latch in the inside of the garage that can be pulled so that the door is not being secured by the motor any longer. Even though the latch is on the inside of the garage door a would be thief could use a metal hanger to get hold of it if they know what they are doing. They can pull the latch and be in the space in just a few minutes. That is why if you want to keep the garage door secure while you are out of town or some other reason you can use a standard zip tie. The zip tie can be secured around the same area that the emergency release is located. You can also choose to take the latch off and keep it in the house or garage so that it can be reattached if you need to use it.
Hide Garage Door Opener Remote or Take with You: You also want to think about the garage door remote that makes the access to your home easy. If you leave the garage door remote in the car that is left outside the garage you are giving a thief easy access as well. All they have to do is get into your car and then click the button just like you would. It is best to get into the habit of taking the garage door remote with you in the house or store so that no one is able to get it.
Garage Door Window Privacy Tips: If you have a garage door that has windows you want to make sure that you have them frosted. When you have an open, clear window you are giving someone a way to see just what they might want to steal. This may entice a thief to come to your house instead of moving on to the next house.
