A thief will look for the easiest way to gain access to your home. They will get in through doors whether they are in the front or back and in a window that may not be locked. These are the most common areas that people consider when they want to secure their home but there is another area that should also be looked after. The garage door is a place that is easy to gain access to a home. If someone gets into your garage through the garage door they not only have access to your things that are housed in there but potentially now have access to your car and the inside of the house as well. You may not realize that there are things you could be doing that can leave you susceptible to a thief getting in. Make sure that you are doing all you can to keep a thief from breaking in via your garage door!
VF&I Garage Doors Lists Ways to Keep Your Garage Door Secured.
Where Do You Keep The Garage Door Clicker?: The garage door opener is set up to use a button to open and close the door when it is pushed. This also works for anyone that pushes the button as well. The clicker comes with a clip that makes it easy to slide on the visor inside your car. This is the place that almost everyone places it. If you are parked outside the garage and you keep the clicker in the car a thief can easily break into your car and use the clicker to get in your garage with ease. If you are leaving your car outside you should hide the clicker in the car so it is out of sight or you can take it in the house for you.
How Do You Secure the Garage Door When On Vacation?: When you are ready to go out of town for a long period of time what do you do to secure the garage door? If a thief gains access to the inside of your garage they have a hiding place to work on getting all the way in. This is worse if you are out of town and they realize that no one is there to stop them. You can stop the motor from functioning while you are out of town by unplugging it so that if someone was to hack into the motor it will not work. It may be annoying when you come home and have to plug it in before you are able to get the door to open but it will help to keep a would be thief from opening the door while you are gone.
Did You Reset The Garage Door Code?: When the garage door is installed, the code is set by the factory. The problem is that other garage doors could have the same code and more than one clicker could potentially work. The best way to avoid this generic code is to make sure that it is reset by you after the installation. You can also use a professional garage door repair company to set up the code on your behalf.
