It’s easy to forget about your garage security. You might spend a lot of time, energy, and money upgrading your home and making sure it’s burglar-free but completely forget to do the same for your garage.

However, garages are one of the main targets for intruders. It’s often the first place that they try when they’re attempting to break into a home.

Keeping your garage as secure as possible is important to keep your family and belongings safe. This is especially the case if your garage is attached to your house and leads directly into your home.

You don’t need to spend a fortune securing your garage. There are lots of affordable ways to make your garage as safe as possible and we’ve discussed some of them below.

Update Your Garage Door

The garage door is the most significant factor in your garage security so proper garage door maintenance is key to your safety.

An old and rusty door will be easier for intruders to break or pry open. If your garage door is broken, it might not even close properly, making it an open invitation for burglars.

Upgrading your garage door is one of the most effective ways to maximize the safety and security of your home. You can choose from a wide range of styles and designs to find the perfect garage door.

If you don’t want to go for a complete replacement, you can replace certain parts of your garage door to enhance its function. Find the best garage door opener or replace the hinges of the door to make it as secure as possible.

Install Outdoor Lights

Intruders are less likely to attempt a break-in when your home is well-lit. Installing outdoor lighting around your property, particularly around your garage, is going to keep burglars at bay.

If you don’t want to waste electricity illuminating the outside of your home all night, install motion-sensitive lighting. They will turn on if an intruder approaches your garage, alerting you of their presence and scaring them away.

Pay Attention to Your Lock

Whether you’ve got a smart garage door that uses a remote or keycard, or your door has a traditional lock and key, pay close attention to it. Every time you shut and lock your garage door, double-check that it has locked properly.

If your garage door lock is remote-controlled, make sure you keep the remote by your side at all times. Don’t leave it anywhere near your front door where a burglar could potentially reach it.

For those of you with a traditional lock-and-key garage door, keep your keys close by. Check that your lock isn’t broken and change the lock every few years.

You can also use a garage shield to cover the lock while you’re out of the house or get an external heavy-duty lock. This will prevent intruders from picking the lock and entering your home.
