Garage doors have been known to be a common weak point in terms of home security. This eventually makes the home an easy target for thieves. To have a secure garage door, the below tips should be taken into account:
1. Have a garage door remote-The remote will help you as you will be able to open and lock your door without having to come out of the car. Do not leave this remote in your car especially at the parking either in the office or mall. This is because if your car is broken into, the remote will be stolen and used to gain access to your home.
2. Secure the door from your garage-Make sure the door from your garage to your house is secured with a strong, sturdy door.
3. Never leave the door garage open-Regardless of how safe you feel your neighbourhood is, always lock the garage door. Keeping it open tempts people to come in. Open garage doors are an easy target for criminals.
4. Do regular maintenance-The mechanical parts of your garage door need regular maintenance. Always check the frame, locks, hinges and any items that will need replacement.
5. Every entrance point should be looked at from the point of vulnerability.
