How to make an up and over garage door more secure

Posted on August 23, 2021 at 11:29 am

A garage holds a lot of tools and equipment as well as bikes, cars and other valuables.  Here are a few things you can do to make the garage door more secure.

Installing Locking Garage Door Bolts

The locking garage door bolt kits consist of two locking mechanisms and keys. These fit on the bottom of the garage door and secure it to the frame or floor from both sides of the door.

Garage Door Defenders

Garage door defenders feature a bar and a base plate that ensures your garage door cannot be opened beyond the bar, a few millimetres at best. The base plate is fixed to the ground securely, and when the bar is unlocked from the base plate, the garage door can swing up and over freely.

Security Lights

Installing motion-activated lights around your garage will stop an intruder in their tracks for fear of being seen and identified. Though this doesn’t necessarily make your garage door physically more secure, it conveys to burglars that they are not welcome on your property.
