Your garage stores some of your most expensive possessions including your car and white goods. For many, the garage has ended up as a secondary storage place for sports equipment, bikes, Christmas Trees, power tools, and more.
As well as storing valuables, it may even have an entry point into your home. You may not give too much thought to your garage or the ultimate security of it, but it is important to understand that thieves see your garage as a prime opportunity.
Think leaving your garage door open is fine as long as it’s during the daylight hours? Think again. Thieves scope out the homes they hit well before they attempt a break-in, and an open garage door gives them all the information they need to determine if they need to come back to your place.
With the door open, they can tell exactly what you have to offer. That includes a wide range of things, including:
Sure, your homeowner’s insurance will cover at least some of the loss, but let’s face it – it won’t really cover the replacement costs. You will get fair value only, which means you will not be able to replace everything that was stolen.
Don’t show your stuff to the neighbourhood, keeping your garage door closed helps hide what you have.
2. Don’t leave the garage door remote in your car
People tend to leave their garage door remote controls in the centre console of their cars in full view of others.
This makes it easy for the thieves in our community to enter and exit our homes with relative ease. Police have noticed a trend recently whereby garage remote controls are being used to unlawfully enter homes. These remotes are also being used to exit homes when stealing a vehicle from the location.
3. Lock the door between the garage and your home
Once a burglar has access to your garage, it should not mean they have access to the rest of your home. Install a deadlock on the door between your garage and the rest of your home.
4. Ensure your garage windows are secure
Don’t neglect to protect your garage windows. Consider frosted windows, security bars/security screens, and window locks to improve your security.

XTRA-LOK Roller Door Security Latch Dead Lock can be fitted to Roller doors, Tilt a doors, Panel Lift and even sliding shed style doors. XTRA-LOK’s are excellent security for that flimsy domestic roller door, behind which is your pride and joy, or as in most cases these days an access door into your house. Even if your door is electric, an XTRA-LOK is piece of mind at night or when away on holiday.
XTRA-LOK’s are the best security for stopping intruders breaking in thru the roller door. If someone does get in other than thru the roller door, once in, opening your roller door is the easiest way for them to empty your premises. Once again XTRA-LOK’s will stop or at least slow them, and use up that limited window of opportunity the thief has by making them leave the way they came in. Double installation recommended for doors over 2.4m wide.
XTRA-LOK’s secure the door to the concrete with a simple latching technique taking seconds. When unlocked they lay flat to the floor. XTRA-LOK’s help prevent break-ins via the door being jimmied up, or as in a ram-raid situation they are also of great assistance in strong wind areas.
XTRA-LOK’s are constructed form steel treated with zinc for corrosion resistance. The hinge pin is 304 grade stainless steel for strength and durability. They are supplied with four hardened tamperproof concrete fasteners and four cup head bolts.
Many companies put security screens or bars on windows and doors and totally forget about their roller doors, leaving the roller door as the weakest easiest entry point for a thief. Another advantage of XTRA-LOK security is that if you secure your building and make it difficult for would be thieves, they will go elsewhere, which may be unfortunate for someone else but good for you.
The product comes complete with hardened tamper resistant concrete fixings and 4 cup head bolts.
Protect your valuable Sports Cars, Classic Cars and Hot Rods. Protect your Motorcycles , Harleys, Dirt Bikes, Road Bikes, Bicycles. Protect your Tools, Boats, Fishing gear, Hobby gear, Beer Fridge. Fitting an XTRA-LOK or two is a small price for peace of mind.

We just had young Tyler Doyle here working on our system today. He not only resolved the issues that we were having but he did so with such a polite and professional manner. Where many other would have given up or come back another day, Tyler persevered and got it done. I am so very thankful and wanted to let you know what an asset to your team you have there.
Thank you for repairing my mother’s car ignition today. Your prompt attention and excellent service was greatly appreciated. I will certainly be recommending Assured Locksmiths to all my family and friends. Thanks.
I have had the same 2 workmen in the office, over the past 2 days, installing locks on cupboards. Not only were they the politest workmen I’ve had interactions with, they are also the cleanest! They took a lot of care to put all the files back where they found them and made sure the floor was clean as well. Wonderful.
Saved the day after a horror experience with a broken car ignition lock cylinder. Fixed it early the next day after ringing me with a quote and supplied a new Commodore key at my request. Really impressed with the outcome, price, service, communication and experience overall .
Highly recommended. Thanks!!!!!
Called Assured and just as the name states, they assured me they could do the job.
The fellow came out to my home he was polite, tidy and did a great job of fixing an annoying lock.
Thank you for such efficient service.
Had a deadbolt fitted to back door. Robert was very efficient did a perfect job and even cleaned up afterwards and very reasonably priced.
Can highly recommend Assured Locksmiths
I want to personally thank Assured Locksmiths for the completion of a task that was well out of scope.

Thanks again for a great result

IT Basecamp a specialist IT company asked us to convert their offices to a registered master key system. They were setup with 4 different keys for different staff that have had access to different areas of the office. Brad says we went from 5 keys for our office to open all sorts of doors down to one! Awesome
I have used Assured for both business and home security needs, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
