Garage security

[NewbieRaf]

Hey All

I’m wondering what people are doing to secure their garage doors?

I’m looking at something like the below but my worry is the attraction when you see something like this - if you get what I mean

Are there any other better options out there?

Thanks

I replaced on my previous property a garage door for a steel industrial roller shutter door. Night and day difference in weight and strength. Just for fun pop to a garage door and ask if you can try to lift / force the door up with your hands…….chances are they won’t let you as they break! So, no point in deterrents if the door itself is made of cardboard.

An overt cctv camera should be a deterrent. You only need to persaude the villian to try next doors garage instead.

as that is mounted external to the door it does tend to shout "there is something worth nicking in here"

I installed Enfield garage door locks on my door. Discrete, and seem a lot more secure than a single central lock. A bit of a faff to install but not too hard. I did have to use a couple of ply mountig plates on the back of the door to change the thickness . I don't think it was the brand but they all look similar. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Schlosser-...refix=enfield+garage+door+bolts,aps,87&sr=8-9

I also have those Enfield locks fitted to an up and over door on a garage I use for storage. Dead simple to fit and takes just an extra minute to unlock the door. Not a total answer but would certainly stop a casual chancer forcing the door if it only had a central lock.
You can see there are extra locks fitted but as Toby said they are discrete.

That's the theory I use with SmartWater.

Many moons ago my b.i.l. had a burglar alarm fitted. He said it was a lousy system but there six houses on his lane and his was the only one with an alarm - job done.

Any item that is visible, say try somewhere else, so a lock and camera can be a deterrent
