Garage thefts: how to protect yourself

The apartments are usually secured by converting from a double bitted lock to a Europrofile lock or simply by updating the lock (from a old generation to a new generation double-bitted lock).
But it happens that for reasons of space inside the houses, one takes advantage of the garage to store goods of any kind with a value that often exceeds that of the goods kept at home. Inside the garage, in fact, objects such as power tools, racing bicycles, mountain bikes, appliances, scooters or the car itself and what is inside it become an easy source of income for the criminals who quickly resell these goods getting cash.

The isolated and uneven location, especially at night, turns garages into an easy target. If we consider that, very often, these are doors of first installation with very thin sheet and a lock with poor protection, it’s done.

First of all, you should know that, since theft is a matter of time, thieves love to play it safe; in fact, before proceeding with the burglary, they inspect the boxes by making a hole in the sheet to check what is inside. The most refined make a very small hole or take advantage of the air intakes to insert a tube with a micro-camera and LED light.

Through the installation of a Europrofile lock that guarantees protection against manipulation, lifting corners and unhinging. Compared to models with a cross-style closure, the MOIA 156B lock provides an H-type closure protecting the entire surface of the door and effectively countering the burglary attempts listed above.

Very often due to the presence of the weights, the lateral points are difficult to install and a lock with a cross closure is often installed with only the vertical points leaving the corners and uprights uncovered. The H MOIA lock has 4 points that can always be installed and, where possible, the side rods can also be fixed to obtain 6 closing points.
