Replace Your Garage Door With a More Modern Door

Garage doors are an attractive target for burglars and thieves. They're easy to work with, don't make much noise, and are often left unlocked and unmonitored — making them a perfect target for thieves looking to enter a home quickly.

If you have an old garage door, it may be time to replace it. Older garage doors are more vulnerable to criminals as they tend to be less secure and more easily broken into. You can also install a modern door with many of the latest security features built-in. Examples include:

Steel or heavy-duty aluminum doors with insulated panels or windows.
Security locks.Reinforced
brackets and struts.

If your garage door opener is over ten years old, it's probably time to upgrade it. You can install an opener that has motion sensors that automatically turn on when someone comes within a certain number of feet of your garage door, preventing people from being able to sneak up on your garage without you knowing. Your new opener can also have rolling code technology that changes the code every time you use it, so even if someone does gain access to your code, it will be useless after one use.

Garage Door Locks

Like the ones offered by Diego's Locksmith, Garage door locks are an affordable and effective way to add security to your home. They are easy to install and come in various styles and finishes to suit your needs.

The following is an overview of some of the most common garage door lock types:

Lever locks are the simplest type of locks for the garage door. Installation is possible on virtually any style door, even those with no knob or handle. The lever will raise or lower a latch inside the lock, which will secure the door against entry.

Roller locks operate just like lever locks, with one key difference: they cannot be opened from either side due to their design. This feature makes them ideal for use in areas that receive heavy traffic, such as garages or offices with multiple entrances.

Garage door locks are designed with both convenience and security in mind and can help keep your home safe from intruders while at the same time saving you money on replacement costs if someone does break into your house.

High-Security Lock From Garage to Home

You should secure every entry point of your home with a deadbolt, including the entry from your garage. Most builders will install basic locks on the doors that lead from the house to the garage and the garage to the outside, but these can typically be forced open within seconds using little more than a credit card.

To improve your home security, consider installing a better quality lock such as a double cylinder lock for added security. A key is required on both sides of the door to open this type of deadbolt, and a credit card or other tool cannot be used to force it open. As a bonus, these locks may help prevent children from wandering out of the house while you're busy in another room.
