Install A Security System

When it comes to security, there are plenty of options available. On the simpler side, installing a door sensor can serve as a hindrance to potential thieves. Certain door sensors will send out an audible alarm when the garage door is open, so you will immediately know if someone is trying to attempt a break-in. In addition, many modern garage door openers have built-in security features, like the ability to monitor when the door is opened or closed, or a self-closing system.

If you want to take your garage security to the next level you could consider adding motion sensor cameras. These save on energy consumption and offer a high level of security. When cameras are present, burglars will be hesitant to attempt a break-in and will avoid them at all costs.

Install a Reliable Garage Door

Older garage doors are much easier to break into. You should have a garage door that serves as a strong, durable obstacle between the interior and the outdoors. Choosing a garage that is built with high-quality materials while still bringing a modern aesthetic to your home. A stronger garage door with an opener that features modern technology will help reduce the risk of break-ins.

Keep the garage remote and keys with you

If you’re someone who is notorious for leaving their car unlocked in the driveway, you’re giving thieves an open invitation into your garage. When cars are parked in places other than your garage, especially when they are left unlocked, intruders can easily have the ability to open and close your garage door. In addition, it is good practice to always keep your house and garage keys on you instead of leaving them in the car, as thieves can access your garage and home with them.
