In Newnan, Georgia, homes are just as susceptible to intrusion as any other place in the world. When you have a garage that is not going completely down to the ground or you’re experiencing a problem with your garage door opener, it may be very easy for someone to walk right in and come straight into your home. This could occur if you have a door from your garage that leads directly into your home. You can prevent intrusion by having a lock installed on your home door and an additional lock to secure your actual garage door. While most automatic garage doors will help secure your garage, they can malfunction from time and time and having another lock on the door certainly couldn’t do any harm. Since we are encouraging you to consider having a lock installed on your garage door, we find that it necessary to give you some information on what you should consider when purchasing a lock for your garage door.
Thieves that can see something of value inside your garage may not need to go any further. All they want is access to your garage. Many homeowners store things, such as sporting equipment, lawn equipment, and household appliances in their garage. If someone drives by and spots these things, they may make your garage their next target. All that you need to do is let your guard down for a few minutes for someone to wipe you out. Also, consider just how easy it is for thief to hide inside your garage. If you store several cars in your garage, and one is not working, they could easily lay and wait inside the other vehicle until the time is right. Perhaps you have other hiding places inside your garage where a thief can lay-low until the time is right. Keep intruders from coming inside your garage with a track lock. A track lock is placed on your garage door tracks to keep it from being opened. There are other lock options that our locksmiths can discuss with you in greater detail.
When you think of a deadbolt lock you might only consider having it installed on the entrance to your home. Well, the door leading from your garage into your home would also be considered an entryway door. A deadbolt lock is useful on any door, as it provides the level of durability that proves effective in keeping out intruders. We wouldn’t recommend a double cylinder deadbolt be installed on this door since two separate keys would be required to open it. This could prove problematic for you. A single deadbolt should do just fine. It adds additional security to keep intruders from making their way any further. A locksmith would be able to help you find the right locksmith suited to your needs. If your garage door leading into your home doesn’t already have a peephole, allow someone to install one for you. This also helps to protect you in case someone is lurking inside your garage, you can keep out of harm’s way and alert the proper authorities.
You have to think like an intruder to see what you would do to try to get inside of someone’s garage by trying to get inside of yours. An intruder may be able to compromise your keypad when it is in need of a new battery. Remove the battery to see just how simple it might be to open your own garage. If this is no problem for you, you can be sure that it won’t be a problem from a thief. Try to open the door simply by lifting it. If the door goes up without any effort, this means that there is a problem with your garage door opener. Again, this is an indication that there is a need for additional security for your garage door. There are some intruders that find it easier to gain access through your garage and there are some that simply don’t want to go any further than your garage. Don’t give them the advantage of being able to do either. Instead, start looking at your garage door lock options so that you can gain peace-of-mind in knowing that your garage is safe and secure.
Even the best garage door openers have been known to malfunction every now and then. This may not be a manufacturer’s problem rather it could be do to a power outage. When this occurs, some openers need to be reprogrammed. In some cases, homeowners may not even know that there was a power outage and continue using their garage as usual. It is a good idea to invest in a garage door opener that will indicate when it needs to be reset so that you will not continue using your garage with the possibility of an intrusion. Why put yourself and your loved ones in harm’s way when it isn’t necessary. A locksmith can also assist you in finding practical and affordable solutions for being alerted to a power outage so that you can immediately reset your opener. In some cases, you will know if your garage door opener remote doesn’t work. Be alert to anything that looks unusual when attempting to use your garage and proceed with caution.
