It may do, but I had a lock-up once in Thatcham (don’t ask). The guy with the garage next to mine had padlocks and a garage defender. Inside was his Vauxhall Corsa.

Does that not scream "I've got something worth having"?

Had this Garage Defender fitted. I use this plus a wall anchor. It won’t stop a determined thief, but it will slow them down (hopefully long enough).

Hey Andrew(300),

What additional garage security do you recommend?

I have some good quality doors fitted to my garage under a PIR light for scare purposes.

What would you recommend? There is nothing of value in my garage other than 2 cars. Which you can't remove anyway due to being blocked in on the drive by another 1-2 parked alarmed car(s).

Cheers
Peter

Nuff said!
As I don't use the cannon for reenactments any more, it's now been taken off my Firearms Certificate and can't be fired and it doesn't have to be locked up at all, so I suppose the best Garage Door security would be to stand it in front of it pointing outward to deter potential thieves. 8)

I know that most people slate Liverpool calling it a joy rider's paradise, but I've never had anyone try to get into my garage, which has a Henderson remote control electric up-and-over mechanism that was fitted in 1990.
The original twist handle halfway up the door has been disconnected inside, so I manually slide the two bolts to secure it further when I don't need to open it, plus switch the power off to the electric mechanism.
This was deemed to be very good security by the Firearms Department of Merseyside Police, when the cannon I have stored in there as well, was listed on my Firearms Certificate.

Wow, good to know. Anyone know if an Aton has ever been “TWOC’d”?

Even so, I think I’ll sleep easier knowing that there is a big lump of steel deterring any would be Neds from trying to carry the Atom off in the night.

Now there's a man I wouldn't bet against! 😁What that man doesn't know about getting into doors isn't worth knowing...

Next time your back in England Autobackup give me a shout and I'll show you how easy it is to bypass that garage door. £100 side bet if I can't get it open in 2 minutes

It would be very difficult for anybody to do this - mostly because it it not a roller door but a central chain driven overhead system with stainless steel fixings to a, 'up and over' steel Garador!

It is one of these : http://www.seip.co.uk/TS75&TS100InstallationManual.pdf

- there is no possibility whartsoever of getting at the Garador connection to the carrier chain when the door is closed as it is connected to the door with s/steel bolts to a point positioned about 30cm below the top of the centre of the Garador unless, as I said in my previous post, a metal disc cutter is used to cut a hole in the door but, then again, no door could stand up such a tool!
