Garage security - 150m away from home

[Rubin85]

Hi all

Do you know any battery/wireless alarm I can use for my garage ? I've seen few on ebay but not sure if they're any good

What I've got so far is:

I'm looking for something inside as well, I know this may only slow them down but if I could be warned that something going on it would be good as well.

Any suggestions more than welcome.

I've had a Yale battery powered house alarm on garages before which have been quite good - open sensors on the doors and a PIR inside covered pretty much every eventuality.

If you've got an up and over door you can wedge a plank of wood against it so it can't be opened without distructivising it.

I'm currently of the mind that if you've got a low security door (i.e. up and over) with loads of external locks on display then you're telling the crooks there's something flash inside which is why I use internal stuff only.

Get a set of Enfield Garage Door Bolts from eBay.

I have them on my up and over door. I've installed them so there is no way to unlock then from the outside - have to enter via the personal door at the back which is steel deadbolted security door.

Cheap and easy to fit.

Wish I'd thought of that. I installed mine so they can be opened from the outside. Derp.

Lol, blank over the key holes - put a bit of metal on the inside of the door between the lock and the door. From the outside, fill with body filler and paint to match door. Problem solved.

Thanks guys for comments, unfortunately I've got Wooden Side Hinged doors about 10mm thick. I may actually reduce the amount of external locks but the problem is that garage is behind the shop and nobody can actually see what's going on and no cctv at all. I may be going for the alarm and 2 external locks for now unless there's something good for side hinged doors.

you need some anti-jimmy door pins

like these https://www.doorware.com/site/product.cfm?id=159686" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

this stops anyone removing the hinges and pulling the doors off
