Garage Door Security

Garage Door Security Garage Door Security East Sussex. There are a number of measures that can be taken to increase the security of up and over garage doors. Where possible it is a good idea to change the handles (T type) with the integral lock to a handle that has a separate euro type lock and handle. It is also sometimes possible to fit a flush type lock that has no handle and an over sized key is used as the handle. Some garage doors can be fitted with up to four points of locking, either factory fitted or retrospectively. One of the easiest steps you can take to make your garage door more secure is to protect the latches with either a timber headstop or a purpose made steel latch protector. At the other end of the spectrum. the “Garage Door Defender” (See photo) is a very effective security measure and also provides a visual deterrent.
