Padlock the throw latch on your garage door when you’re out of town – If you don’t have a manual lock on your garage door, you can use a c-clamp tightened down on each side of the door track to effectively “lock” down the door. It’s similar to those small window track locks you can buy for your home interior windows. 10) Don’t neglect maintenance on the mechanical parts of your roll-up garage door and keep an eye out for corrosion. Don’t forget the door from your garage to your house; check the frame, locks, hinges and any replaceable items. if you keep this things in mind you really need not worry and set the home location on your gps to a landmark near your home, so if someone finds your keys they can try nearby cars until it unlocks, then use your gps to drive to your house with your front door key Dover white or surfmist garage door.
