Garage Door Security

Garage doors are very useful. They keep out the rain, wind, leaves, animals, and most of all....intruders. If your Garage door is down, the chances of something being stolen is greatly reduced. Of course, if they want in bad enough, they will get in. I have seen crooks back into a garage door to gain access to the garage.

What usually happens is a crook will ride by, and see the garage door open, and will come back later. If he is real lucky, the homeowner has left the garage door open, and all he has to do is be quiet an walk off with what he wants. I'm not a big fan of glass in the garage door, mainly for a security reason. If they can see in, they can see what you have in the garage. Another thing they can do, is look to see if someone is at home. I know its not a sure thing, cause sometimes the homeowner doesnt have a car in the gargae when they are at home. But, if they can't see into the garage, they take a bigger risk if they try to break in. Try to make it look like you are at home keep the door closed. Til next time...... Joe :-)
