Top Tips to Keep Your Garage Safe and Secure

December 12, 2019 by R. Scully

Always make your garage safe against burglars

How do you keep your garage safe? When considering home security, garage safety is often overlooked. This can become a problem because it is one of the most vulnerable home security areas. Items inside the garage – lawnmowers, cars, and power tools – are tempting to thieves. And once an intruder enters your garage, they can gain easier access to the rest of your home.

Are Your Garage Safety Measures Protecting Your Home and Family?

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect yourself. Try these top tips to secure your garage.

Have a security system installed. A security system in your garage is your best line of defense. If an intruder tries to enter your garage when your system is activated, the alarm will sound, and emergency services will be dispatched.

When it comes to choosing the right security provider, there are many things to consider. Motion sensor detector can make your garage safe

Keep your windows obscured. Cover any windows in the garage with curtains or blinds so potential burglars can’t window shop. If that isn’t possible, apply an opaque or translucent film to the glass. This lets light in but prevents others from seeing inside.

Enhance your garage safety with motion detector lights. Upgrade your current light fixtures in and around the garage to motion detector lights. These detectors are infrared waves that will detect moving objects and body temperature. When warm objects, like cars, people, and animals are detected a light turns on and stays on for a predetermined time then shuts offs, unless motion is detected.

Things To Consider In Keeping Your Garage Safe

Safeguard the garage door. The door that leads into your home from the garage should be as secure as all your other external doors. You want to stop any possible intruders from making it any farther into your home if they do make it into your garage. Be sure that your garage door locks securely. This can be accomplished by adding a deadbolt, installing more than one lock, or using padlocks that require a programmed entry code. 

Don’t leave your garage remote in the car. You can avoid giving an intruder easy access to your garage by taking the remote with you, whether you’re headed into the office or parked in the driveway for the night. Don’t leave your garage door opener remote in the car, even when it’s parked in the garage. You can purchase a small keychain remote to replace your big remote. 

Utilize timers. When your garage door is inadvertently left open, it’s an open invitation for anyone to enter. To enforce your garage safety, install a timer that tells your garage door opener to close the door after a set amount of time. 

Consider Inside Hazards As Well

Hang items securely on the wall. Get wall storage racks that let you hang – and secure – tools and other items so they don’t fall. Securely hanging items such garden tools means it won’t be a tripping hazard. If you have chemicals that could be harmful to kids or pets, get a cabinet or other garage storage options to keep it locked away.
