Garage Security

Up and over garage doors provide an easy target for burglars. Most burglars are opportunist thieves and in many cases force is not needed. Authorized Access provide a professional lock installation and lock repair services for all types of garage doors, including padlocks with hasp and staple, mortice deadlocks and garage defenders.
Common garage door security issues resulting in a call out to supply and change the existing garage lock include:

• General lock failure.
• Buckled garage doors resulting in lock alignment issues.
• Problems with disconnected or snapped wires connecting the locks to the rods.

It is also important to keep all internal doors connected to integral garages secure. This is best done by fitting a mortice lock that meets the British Standard BS3621 2004. Double garage doors can be fitted with mortice deadlocks on either side, keyed alike.

Additional Security

Hasp and staple

If you only ever enter the garage from the inside of the property, fitting a padlock with a hasp and staple on the inside will provide significant additional garage door security. An alternative is fixing bolts to the runners on an up and over garage doors. Both offer simple methods of securing your garage door from the inside.

Garage Defender

A Garage Defender will provide additional security and an excellent visual deterrent. The base plate is bolted in to concrete with a heavy duty arm and it works by preventing the tilt action of the door, making entry virtually impossible.

Mortice Locks

Mortice deadlocks can be fitted to the outside of the garage and are particularly suitable if you have traditional open out double garage doors.
