Garages are a common way into a home, because the door from the garage into the house is often treated as an interior door. We secure garage entry doors, side doors and garage door locking hardware, and fit proper deadbolts and reinforced strikes on the door between the garage and the house.
When to call us
- The garage-to-house door has only a knob lock.
- The garage side door is weak or damaged.
- A garage remote has been lost or stolen.
- You want to lock the garage door manually when away.
How the job works
- We assess the garage entry points.
- Deadbolts and strikes are fitted to entry doors.
- Side doors are repaired or secured.
- Manual locking hardware is fitted where suitable.
- Everything is tested.
Securing the garage route into the house
Garages are attractive to burglars because they offer cover, tools and often an unlocked or lightly locked door into the house. Treat the garage-to-house door as an exterior door: a solid door, a deadbolt with a reinforced strike, and a self-closing hinge if required by code.
If a garage remote is lost or stolen, reprogram the opener and consider rekeying the house entry door in case keys were in the same vehicle.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Number of doors.
- Door condition.
- Hardware grade.
- Keying to other locks.
