I feel like there are a lot of valuable things keep in a garage, like cars, tools, bikes, and other things. We just have garage doors in Calgary like you would see anywhere else and it concerns me how easy someone could get it. I really appreciate the advice and will use these tips.

These are all really great tips. I'm definitely going to be reinforcing my locks. Another tip, though, is to have a security system installed. If a burglar really wants to enter a home, they will find ways around these contraptions, as great as they are and as much as they provide peace of mind. I'm from Michigan, and these home alarm systems Michigan (http://watchdogmi.com/home-security/) are a really good way to add that extra layer of security and have authorities intervene in the instance anything does occur.

if you have pull down stairs in the garage that lead to the attic it's also a good idea to put a pair of padlocks (and the hasp) to secure those. Otherwise there's no point to having a locked door, most theieve go up the stairs and just drop through the ceiling causing more damage than what they might steal
