Keep reading to discover tips on securing your property!
Outside lighting
It is important to think about any areas of the property that might be vulnerable in terms of being easy to access. How much lighting do you have outside? Do you have a fixture that illuminates the driveway? If not, this is something to think about as it can be useful in securing the home and garage.
Cover Windows
We recommend that any windows are covered so that unwanted persons cannot see into the garage. You can think about the option to frost windows that might be on the garage door. Monitoring activity with a garage door opener can add security to the garage and thereby to the home, too.
If you have an automatic garage door opener, we advise against keeping its remote in your car. Breaking into a car would then grant someone entry to your home if they grabbed the remote. It is better to keep the remote on you or in a purse.
Motion Detection lights
What are some other ways to secure the home and garage? You can use motion-detection lights! When your property is lit up, more is visible to you and your neighbors. This can serve as a deterrent to a break in.
An alarm system is another option for securing a home and a garage in the sense that it can alert others if someone is attempting to break inside.
Standard locks
Of course, securing a home and garage can be done with standard locks. For a garage, consider a T-handle lock, keyless locks or locking handle. And keyless locks can be used on the front door to the home, too.
Just bear in mind as discussed here, it is important to ensure a home and of course a garage door is secured. We encourage contacting a mobile locksmith for information on home locks and other security features, including garage door locks. But it isn’t just about locks.
