garage security alarms

[pompousporcup...]

Anybody used a particular model of garage door alarm? There are quite a few cheap ones on the web, some with remote keys to disarm the alarm.

I have an up and over door and a single door next to it. The single door is skookum as frig bit the up and over can be broken into easily, I'm led to believe. I can't get in but then I'm trying to without destroying the door lol

Garage is attached to the house. In the event a little scrote tries to get in I want something that will wake me up. Alarmed disc lock on its own won't wake me -_-


Don't want a garage defender as it shouts out I have something worth stealing. An additional bolt is being added to the door after a few recent bike theft attempts. I'd be devastated if my tools got stolen, let alone the bikes

Cheapest option. Strengthen the corners of the door. Then add some decent bolts into the ground from these points. If its anything like mine you can add some decent bar between the door and plate at back to make good solid mounting points.
It will mean that you won't be able to open the door from the outside with the bolts down.

I use a Tiiwee system. Cheap as chips, well made and a piece of piss to install. You can have the siren anywhere and you can pair another siren to have one on the garage and one indoors to wake you up.

When my garage had an attempted break in (tried to crow bar the door open), I put CCTV on it and looked at an expensive alarm system.

Before spending £400 odd, I decided to try this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/1byone-Wireless-Security-Driveway-Weatherproof/dp/B00WG2VVV2/ref=sr_1_3_mimg_1_home_improvement_display_on_website?ie=UTF8&qid=1510094450&sr=8-3&keywords=1+by+one+alarm

Mate, these things are fucking brilliant! The sensor takes a couple AA or AAA batteries (I forget) and sits just behind the garage door inside.

The speaker / chime thing is plugged in the main next to my bed. It works so well, anytime anyone walks in or out, it booms out a tune next to me and flashes too.

Just seen they make a slightly better version with a remote control to enable / disable it for £2 more.

Same company, same device pretty much but with the controller.

You can add up to 5 of the sensors too on the same base.

If its a tinny up and over door you can reinforce the door around the edges with 4x2 so that the corners can't be bent up.
On the inside of the garage a G clamp on the track will stop the door opening (by blocking the track) if they force the lock. Or you could drill a hole and put padlocks in. A simple Irwin speed clamp would be quicker to put on and off than padlocks or a G clamp if you're going to use it everyday.
Strong physical security never hurts.

Edit: Yeah, pretty much what iooi said further up.

the door is fairly well built with bracing along the edges and an X from each corner going through to the centre. The door has a number of lock points, not just one at the top..

What i'd planned to do anyway was add two heavy duty slide bolts at the bottom of the door, either side. These will primarily be used over night. The misses is home pretty much all day as are most of my neighbours.

What prompted me to look further into this was a recent attempt on my neighbours garage. From the looks of it, they clamped something to the lock handle and just overpowered the pins inside the lock which then allowed them to turn the handle and open the door, as if it was unlocked.


Jayy: That looks great

Ideally i want something will make so much noise in the garage that it would be disorientating to go/stay in there. The bikes are chained up but my tool boxes etc etc are not and its not feasible to do so as they get moved around a lot.

if this - https://www.henrykrank.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2964 - doesn't wake up you, and everyone in the area, then nothing will help

would scare the crap out of anyone trying to break in too lol
