A few simple tips to secure your dream car garage

Learn how to protect your vehicle and your home. Keep your dream car garage a safe place.

It is likely that the single lock on the door of your car garage is inadequate to keep intruders from prying up the opposite side and crawling in.

Your car garage must be much better secure !

One of three methods may be used to secure the door :

(1) Add another bolt and padlock on the opposite side, or

(2) Install a pair of cane bolts to the inside - only operable from the inside, or

(3) Add a top center hasp. Any person of average height can operate this locking device. The hasp must be of hardened steel and installed with carriage bolts through the door or gate. Use large washers on the inside. After the nuts are secured, deface the treads of the bolt ends with a hammer to keep the nuts from being removed.

In every case, use a minimum standard exterior padlock to protect your dream car garage and your home. Don't hide a key outside. Most hiding places are obvious to the burglar.

Never leave a padlock unlocked. This is an invitation to have the padlock removed so that a key can be made, and the lock returned to its position. Later, the burglar returns when no one is home and enters at his leisure, using "his" key.
