United Garage Door Service Of North Las Vegas Lists Tips for How to Make a Garage Door More Secure
Avoid Clear Garage Door Windows: Many people want to have a garage door that is stylish and that might mean glass windows. There are panels that can be installed with your garage door that have windows as a way to stylize the space. The problem is that the windows can add a space for someone to look right in and know exactly what they want to steal. That is why if you choose to have windows on your garage door panels you want to choose a frosted glass. This will obscure the space so that no one can see what you are keeping in the garage.
Store Garage Door Opener Remote: The garage door is a great addition to a home and when you can use a remote clicker to get in and out of the space it is even more convenient. The clicker is something that many people put in their vehicle and just leave there. That is not a big deal if you park inside the garage but if you do not you are basically leaving a key out for a thief to attain. If someone is able to get in your car they can grab the clicker and open the door so they have access to anything they want. That is why it is better to take the remote with you in the house and take it out when you leave.
Zip Tie Emergency Garage Door Release Latch: The garage door is outfitted with a cord or latch that can be used if the motor goes out. It can also be used if someone wants access to your garage and they don’t have the clicker. Anyone can use a metal hanger to grab hold of the cord and pull it to allow them to manually open the door. That means that even if you closed it and took the clicker in they might still gain access. You want to zip tie the around where the cord is to secure it when you are out of town.
