Still, it\u2019s very important to make sure your garage is safe and secure. This especially goes for attached garages where the only thing standing between you and a potential burglar is a regular swinging (and often unlocked) door.<\/p>\n<p>Important safety measures should be incorporated for theft prevention and that starts with your own garage door. Here are some security tips for maintaining your safety and peace of mind:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box

their garage doors open and unattended while inside their homes. This may not present a problem with unattached garages, but many people have attached garages nowadays for convenience. Leaving your garage open unattended also increases the chance for potential intruders to hide in your garage and catch you off guard. If you do have an attached garage and you must leave your garage door open for longer than exit or entry, make sure the door leading into your home is deadbolted or locked at the handle at all times. This is a simple thing that can put you in a less vulnerable position.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Take Your Remote Inside<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Many people leave their garage door remotes in the car rather than taking them indoors, but if someone does happen to break into your car, your remote is theirs for the taking.

Older hardware that is rusted or not secured completely makes it easier for anyone to find a weak spot or opening to get into your garage. If your garage door no longer seals tightly or lowers all the way down, this is another possible entry point for thieves. If total replacement isn\u2019t an option, it\u2019s best to call your <a href=\"https:\/\/theupandupdoors.com\/services\/\">garage door repair company<\/a> and ask about hardware replacement options.<\/p>\n<p>At The Up &amp; Up Garage Doors, safety is number one.
