Garage Security

Post by jlawie »

Move into our first home over the next couple of weeks.

The excitement of finally having a garage you wouldn't believe. However, the fear of being broken into isn't!

The garage currently has a centre lock and 2 padlocks each side.

Looking at Garage Defenders, but wonder if that's just attracting people to the fact toys lurk inside.

Hows everyone keep secure??

Do you have access to the inside of the garage from inside the house?

If so bolt it from the inside.

Unfortunately not, its in a block opposite the kitchen window. Car will be parked on the drive in front of it overnight, so more a day time thing really

Does it have power that you could link up an alarm to?

My own opinion on garage defenders is they just flag up there is something worth nicking inside.

That said i see they now do a slightly less obvious version which if painted the same colour as the door would hardly be noticeable from a distance.

Some ideas here.

Definitely chain the bike to the floor inside.
