Why secure a garage door?
The garage door is often a vulnerable point of entry for burglars. A poorly secured or poorly maintained model can be easily broken into, endangering your possessions and your home. It’s therefore essential to reinforce your garage door protection with appropriate solutions to limit the risk of burglary.
Installing a reinforced lock
A conventional lock can be replaced or supplemented by a multi-point locking system to provide added resistance.
- High-security lock with anti-drilling and anti-pick cylinder.
- Additional lock to reinforce manual closing.
- Interior safety bar prevents door lifting.
Add an anti-lift system
Overhead and sectional doors can be easily lifted if they are not secured. Installing an anti-lift device prevents burglars from forcing the door open.
Reinforcing rails and fasteners
Garage door tracks and hinges are often targeted by intruders.
- Install reinforced rails to prevent bending or tearing.
- Secure hinges and screws to limit weak points.
Securing a motorized door
If your door is equipped with a motor, it is important to add suitable protection devices:
- Automatic motor lock in the event of forced opening.
- Emergency power supply to prevent the motorization from being disabled in the event of a power failure.
- Secure access control (upgradeable remote control, RFID badge or digicode).
Install lighting and an alarm system
Good exterior lighting helps deter intruders, especially with motion-sensor floodlights. Adding a connected alarm to the door sends a notification in the event of an unauthorized opening attempt.
Add a surveillance camera
A surveillance camera aimed at the garage door can detect any suspicious activity. Connected models offer remote monitoring via smartphone, with the option of recording images in the event of intrusion.
