A friend sent me these two videos on how thieves can break into a garage and then a solution in the second video.

Thought I'd pass them along.

My door overlaps the header and I don't think it would work on mine

If a thief want's in your garage, he will find a way to pick the lock or go thru the house if it's attached. I have motion detectors and a camera in my garage which sends a text message to my phone if someone enters and I can bring up the camera image on my phone to see who's in there, all in a matter of seconds. They are wireless and battery operated, sends a message via a phone call from the device itself no telephone wires to cut or power to disrupt. All for less than $300 and $15 per month for 5 cameras and 7 motion detectors. And the best part is there is no contract. I can cancel anytime.

It only looks like me Fred. Seriously they say everyone has a double. I was somewhere else. You have so much stuff it would take half a day to load it on the get-a-way truck ! LOL

After the earthquake, when my house caught on fire, the fired department dropped by locked, jammed garage door in a matter of seconds with a portable skill-saw. Granted, they had like a 14" or 18" blade, but I bet a burglar with a battery operated sawsall could gain access in a matter of moments.
