Garage doors are often the way a burglar gains entry to your home. Sometimes we simply forget to close our garage doors, thus leaving us open to clever crooks.
Some simple ways to prevent this is to make sure your 'Service entry' door is locked at all times.
Don't leave your garage door remote in your car! Seems like common sense, but is often overlooked as anyone using the car, or opportunistic thieves that break into the car, then have access to the your home. Instead, attach your remote to your keys and keep them inside your home, not on a hook in the garage.
Don't advertise what's in your garage! By this we mean, don't leave your garage door open all the time and showcase your valuables, tools, cars, gym equipment and the like. Consider covering your valuables or simply keeping the garage door closed when not in use.
You can also install a wi-fi controller and beams onto your garage door. Making it easier to control the door while you are away - and receive notifications to your smartphone if the door has been accidentally left open for an extended period of time, or set it to close automatically at your preferred time too.
Best of all, the smart phone app can be used by multiple family members at the same time.
Wi-fi controllers are also compatible with google home, Alexa and Siri, so you can voice control your door it if that's something that floats your boat!
