Guide to Secure your Garage

Securing your garage is an important aspect of overall home security, as it serves as a potential entry point for intruders.

Attached garages often have direct access to the interior of your home, yet many homeowners treat the door between the house and garage as an interior door rather than securing it as an exterior door, burglars can often easily gain entry through the garage.

Garages typically store valuable items such as vehicles, tools, bicycles, and other expensive equipment.

Securing your garage helps protect these assets from theft, but also prevents intruders from using the tools in the garage to force entry into the home itself.
