Six Ways To Keep Your Garage Safe And Secure

Use the tips below to keep your home, family, and property safe and secure in your garage.

1. Hazardous materials. Lock up any hazardous materials including fertilizers, pesticides, cleaning products, lubricants, vehicle maintenance fluids, paints, and thinner. These should be locked in a well-ventilated cabinet or stored high out of reach of children.
2. Power tools. Power tools should be stored out of reach, locking any expensive tools out of sight and reach from children and passersby. Be sure that any oversized power tools are equipped with working locking mechanisms and disconnected when not in use.
3. Sharp tools. Rakes, shovels, saws, pruners, and other yard and garage tools that could be used as weapons should be stored out of reach and access. Locked storage of these tools can help prevent access from children or any intruders who enter your garage.
4. Clutter. Garage clutter can pose health and safety hazards. Clutter stacked too high, specifically cardboard boxes that deteriorate over time, poses the risk of falling on someone. Clutter also poses a risk of fire hazard. Papers, cardboard boxes, clothes, wood, and flammable substances should be regularly disposed of and stored in separate areas, away from your water heater, washer, and dryer.
5. Lighting. Proper indoor and exterior garage lighting can help to keep your garage and home safe. Floodlights on the exterior of your garage help those coming and going from tripping and falling and deter any intruders. Interior lighting within the garage can help you see while walking, working, and moving about while preventing unwelcome surprises in the dark. Vision is critical to protecting yourself.
6. Garage door. Garage door maintenance is key in helping keep your garage safe and secure. Be sure to look and listen for any garage door issues or noises that seem out of the ordinary. Machinery, rollers, springs, and remote components should be kept in good working order to prevent unexpected door failure that leaves your garage vulnerable.
