How Secure is Your Garage?

Whatever you store in your garage (bikes, your car, the Christmas tree or your deep freezer), one thing is certain:  burglars want to break in and steal from you. Lucky for the burglars but not for you, garages can be one of the easiest areas of your house to invade.

Your first line of defense is to install a Honeywell home alarm system.  This system will alert you and your monitoring company in the event of a break-in.  With sensors on the garage door and all windows, a burglar simply will not make it into your garage without you knowing it.

Glass break sensors are also a must.  A burglar might attempt to enter your garage by breaking a window.  A glass break sensor on each window will foil his plan.  The sensor will be tripped as soon as he shatters the glass.

There are some other things you can do to prevent a garage break-in.  Do not leave your garage door open.  This may sound obvious, but crooks love crimes of opportunity.  Consider this:  you are watering flowers in the back yard and you leave the garage door open after you remove the hose.  After all – how long does it take to water flowers?  How long?  Long enough for an opportunist thief to slip in.

It is also a good idea to put a deadbolt on the door leading into your house from the garage.  That way, if a thief does make it into your garage, he will have a hard time actually making it into your house.

Finally, do not leave your garage door opener in your car.  Ever.  If a thief breaks into your car, he will have access to your home.  Consider keeping it in your pocket, your purse or on a keychain.
