Let’s be honest we don’t tend to keep our cars in the garage anymore unless of course it’s a classic Porsche or something similar. The garage has become an extended store room for all the so called “stuff” we have no room for in the house. But have you ever considered just how much value in real terms you have in the items in your garage.
Let’s be honest we don’t tend to keep our cars in the garage
anymore unless of course it’s a classic Porsche or something similar. The garage has become an extended store room
for all the so called “stuff” we have no room for in the house. But have you ever considered just how much
value in real terms you have in the items in your garage. In fact some single items like power tools,
lawn mowers and mountain bikes have typically a value in excess of hundreds of
pounds with some push bikes being easily over a thousand pounds. From a thieves perspective these items are
easy to steel, transport and sell on. So
how is your garage protected? Usually a traditional steel up and over manually
operated door covering the entrance, possibly a side window with glass and a
wooden back or side door. In fact if you
have an integral garage with a door leading into the house then your home could
be at risk as well and home security is
something we all want.
The up and over door which is awkward and heavy to use,
needs painting every couple of years and is no threat to a burglar needs to be
replaced. You can find a range of
security roller garage doors
which not only have insurance approval but look good and offer insulation as
well due to the foam filled slats. They
come in a range of colours and can be remote controlled for ease of use in fact
you could say they are the perfect garage door.
The window at the side of the garage requires a window grille; this can be
internally or externally fitted.
Although we feel that internal fitting gives you the best level of
security. Using a security mesh or a fixed Diamond lattice grille will give you
the peace of mind you require. Finally
the old wooden door can be replaced with an off the shelf domestic steel door
with multi-point locking and powder coated white.
