Why Invest in Garage Door Locks for Added Security

At Cleveland Heights Locksmith, we often find homes that have been broken into do not take all the necessary security processes, such as securing their garages. 

There are some garage doors have lock features already installed on them, they can fail you at some point. It gives you peace-of-mind in knowing that you have all the security that you need. 

Just because you have not heard of someone breaking into someone’s home through their garage doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen. We are here to tell you that it does. If you are serious about keeping your home and loved ones safe from the potential of harm from an intruder. While many of our customers never imagined that it would or could happen to them, they realize that they could have taken further steps to improve the condition of their home security. 

Deadbolt Locks – This is the type of lock that we would suggest that you put on the interior door between your home and the garage, if you have an attached garage. There are single cylinder deadbolt locks, which only require one key to unlock the door. It has a lock on one side and a knob on the opposite side.

Side Bolt Lock – A side bolt lock is one of the most popular locks used on the interior of garage doors. Since it is on the inside, it is not invisible to the potential intruder. This means there is no way that they can break the lock. A bolt is inserted into a receiving slot.  

Electronic Locks – There are some ‘electric locks that accept a person’s fingerprint to gain entry. Fingerprints are programmed into the system and once the correct ones have been identified, it will enable the lock to disengage. Multiple fingerprints can be used to gain access.
