Improve Your Home’s Safety by Following These Garage Door Tips
If your garage is attached to your home, then it is important to take steps to secure your garage. If a thief decides they want access to your home, the garage is often the first place they will try. Many homeowners have no idea just how vulnerable their garages are. Keep reading to get the facts. If it is time to install a new secure garage door, contact Dynamic Garage Door at 855-343-3667 for help.
Frost the Windows in the Garage
If you have windows in the garage, they might be helpful for letting in natural light, but they also let people look in. A thief could peek in to see if there are any tools, how the house connects to the garage, and more. Add a privacy film to frost the glass and keep prying eyes out.
Invest in a Smart Garage Door Opener
Smart garage door openers are convenient, but that’s not the only benefit – they also provide added security. If you have a visible exterior lock on the door, a thief can likely get through it. Even a touchpad could be hacked. But if you have a garage door that’s opened by smartphone, you will have instant access to your garage when you need it – and you can be notified immediately if someone else tries to get into your garage.
Do Not Leave Your Garage Door Opener in Your Car
We know – this is where everyone leaves their garage door opener! And that’s the problem. Thieves know it. All you have to do is leave your window down, and a thief could reach in, grab your garage door opener off your visor, and check your glovebox to get your address from the registration. In minutes they could be in your home.
Add Motion Lights
Finally, consider adding floodlights that come on if someone approaches the garage door. If a thief can come to your door and take their time getting in, they are much more likely to be successful. However, if they are immediately flooded with light the second they get near, they might just move on to the next house.
