Garages and Garage Doors

When you're setting up a home security system for your house, don't forget about making sure your garage is secure. The garage often provides an easy entry point into the house for would-be thieves. Garage door security is important (change the code on your garage door opener if you haven't since you purchased the system), but don't over look things like back doors and windows.

When you're away, even if you've just gone into the house for a bit, don't leave your garage door opening. It affords passersby the opportunity to check out your security or even make off with bikes, tools, or other valuable but unsecured items.

Good point about the garages. I know it'd be pretty easy for someone to get into the house if they got in through our garage (and our garage has windows that'd be easy to break so it's not that secure...). This is something to think about.
