Many homeowners focus on securing their main house and forget about the garage. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to prevent a garage break-in. Install motion detector lights at the corners of the garage, ensure the service door is locked, and keep valuables out of sight. If you leave a car in the driveway, remove the garage door remote to prevent burglars from breaking into your car and using the remote to access your garage.
Use light timers while you’re away
One effective way to protect your home is by using light timers. They’re affordable, easy to install, and can deter criminals by making your home appear occupied. Choose a timer with a “random on/off” option. When your lights turn on and off at different times throughout the day and night, it makes it harder for burglars to determine if anyone is home.
