Putting one of those on the outside of a garage door just advertises the fact you have something valuable in there.
Baby alarms are good,as you can hear any noise in the garage. but one of these will make it hard to steal https://www.cardok.com/
5 miles away from where I live a chap had a Mercedes van parked against his garage door and 2 bikes in the garage. One morning he woke up with the Mercedes in the middle of of the road(with the tools removed) and an empty garage. Use as many security layers as you can, 1-2 very good quality chains and ground anchor on top of PIR sensors.
Basically make it a pain in the arse to get etc Mine are in a garage with 3 chains 1 of which goes through a Y-Anchor in the concrete floor, 1 disc lock, cctv with motion detection sent to my phone, locked side gate & car parked in front of the gate etc Make them look for the easier bike to steal But as with anything, if they want it......they will get it.... One thing is for sure, if i get hold of you........then good night!!!
Live in the middle of nowhere, down the end of a dead end road with only one way out. Surrounded by paranoid lunatic farmers with guns. Oh and do what @Robarano says in this post https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/titanium-and-security.77566/page-3#post-1620549 all of it - apart from making friends with crazy farmer neighbours- that never ends well.........
I'm in the corner of a cul-de-sac. I know I'm guily of taking loads of pics and seemingly going against my own advice, but nobody can see the house unless they are visiting my 3 closest neighbours. If somebody comes withing sight, they have a reason to be there.
A cheap solution. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bisley-Sec...AWQBWJS88QX&psc=1&refRID=5WZEK6752AWQBWJS88QX Placed it in an old metal bin, and set at a sensible height with a trip wire. Losing control of bowl movements and a temporary lose of hearing might put them off their stride. If nothing else you'll know someone has got their eye on your prized possessions.
Mines served me well over the years,this has keeped the average toe rag from taking my property without asking.
I must admit that's my worry. I think it depends a bit on the location of the garage. I mean, if it's fitted to the garage of your house, then you might just look careful. The problem is when your garage is in a row, and yours is the only one with conspicuous extra security.
I've tended to, when using garages with up and over doors, left the standard lock alone but put in a drop bolt and padlock on the bottom corners. Nothing fancy or hi viz, just simple I had many years ago a garage broken into and all they did was bend the bottom corner up, get in and steal all the tools.
These are a good idea. Some places offer option of more than two, keyed alike. ( one in each corner ). https://www.homesecureshop.co.uk/pr...-extra-security-one-pair-operated-on-same-key or these painted same colour as door if externally mounted. If you have side access door, can go on inside. https://saundersonsecurity.co.uk/bulldog-garage-door-lock.html
That’s the weird thing about the licensing laws, you can’t buy them without a licence, but can gift them to someone who hasn’t. I load my own, black powder is the best, you get a nice boom like a mortar going off rather than a crack of a standard shell, and a 15 foot cloud of smoke
Have you thought about a garage door wrap , just one https://www.style-your-garage.com/e...garages/Rooms/Empty-Garage-Garage-poster.html https://www.style-your-garage.com/e...es/Gates/Urban-Garage-Door-Garage-Poster.html
Rubbish, The devices and the blanks are available from Amazon; ebay; gunshops; and many other places. Perfectly legal to buy without a shotgun certificate. Alternatively, if you have some with a load in them, unpick the end, pour the shot out and then close the end again. The device I made will take 12G; 0.410 and 9mm brass blanks, depending on which ones I want to use.
£12.50 inc postage..... Ebay... Great if you are laying a new garage floor and easy to smash a hole and fit one.... works great with a decent chain / lock https://ebay.us/jTB4hZ
