While garages protect your vehicles from nature’s wrath, garage doors are considered weak spots in home security. Thieves are often able to maneuver their way into homes through garage doors, posing a safety risk for homeowners and their valued items. Finding smart ways to improve the security of your garage is easy with the help of an experienced contractor who can install custom features to make the space more secure. Below is a list of practical steps you can take to secure your garage.

Your Guide to a Secure Garage 

1. Install an Automatic Garage Opener

An automatic garage door opener has rolling-code technology which is a security feature that transmits a new code combination to open the garage each time you press the remote. You can also set a security code to access the garage, making more difficult to open. A contractor can provide an automatic custom garage to fit your safety needs.  

2. Customize Your Garage

A contractor can customize your garage to provide safety and security for your family and property. Choose durable and strong materials to withstand inclement weather and potential intruders. Solid wood or metal garage doors are high-quality and affordable materials that are both aesthetically pleasing and serve as shields against would-be thieves. 

3. Frost the Windows

If the glass on your garage doors is clear, thieves will be able to see any valuable equipment or vehicles you own, prompting them to break the glass and steal your valuables. A contractor can help you choose a frosted custom garage window to increase your privacy and security.
