Do I Need a Lock on My Garage Door?

Yes. Think of every door into your home as a drawbridge: each one needs to be secured. Burglars look for the easiest way in, and a garage is attractive because it's often out of sight from the street. A locked garage protects your home, your family and anything you store there, including tools and equipment for your business.

Ways to Lock a Garage Door

• An automatic opener: a closed door on a working opener is locked by the opener itself. Many openers also have a vacation lock on the wall control that disables remotes.
• A manual lock: a T-handle lock or slide bolt for doors without an opener, or for extra security when you're away.
• A secure release: a shield or zip tie on the emergency release stops thieves from hooking it through the top of the door.
• Smart alerts: a Wi-Fi opener tells your phone if the door is left open.

What If My Garage Door Lock Is Broken?

Don't try to fix a damaged lock yourself; you can make the mechanism worse. Call us and we'll repair or replace it, usually the same day, so your door isn't left unsecured. Emergency service is available 24/7.

Leaving for a holiday? Lock the door manually or use the vacation lock, and don't leave a remote in a car parked outside.
