Did you know you can install a security door on your internal garage entrance? Many homeowners remain unaware of this crucial protection option that can significantly enhance their property’s security.
While people typically invest in securing their front and back doors, they often overlook one of the most vulnerable entry points to their home—the door connecting their garage to their living space. With rising crime rates across the Gold Coast, this neglected vulnerability provides intruders with an ideal opportunity to gain access once they’ve entered your garage.
Why Your Internal Garage Door Needs Security
Your garage door isn’t just a convenient way to enter your home; it’s often a target for intruders. Even with a secure external garage door, once someone gains access to your garage, the internal door leading to your home is typically much less protected than your main entrance.
Unfortunately, garage break-ins are all too common:
- Intruders can exploit weak points in external garage doors
- Once inside your garage, criminals have privacy to work on breaking into your home
- Standard internal doors between garages and homes often lack the security features of external doors
The Common Installation Challenge
There is often a significant problem when attempting to install a security door onto an internal garage entrance: the architraves and door frames for internal garage doors are typically narrower than standard external doorways. This creates a compatibility issue when the wooden door handle protrudes beyond the frame, as there’s simply not enough clearance to install a security door.
The Solution: Custom Jamb Adapters
Here’s the good news: you can install a security screen door on your internal garage entrance with the help of a custom jamb adapter. This innovative solution extends the door frame just enough to provide clearance for the existing door handle, making security door installation possible.
A jamb adapter works by:
- Creating an extension to your existing door frame
- Providing the necessary depth to clear protruding door handles
- Creating a secure mounting surface for your new security door
- Maintaining the functionality of both doors
Benefits of Adding a Security Screen to Your Internal Garage Door
Installing a security screen door between your garage and home offers several key advantages:
Enhanced Security: Adds an additional barrier against unauthorised entry, with reinforced frames and mesh that resist cutting, prying, and impact.
Ventilation: Allows you to keep the wooden garage door open for extra airflow while maintaining security.
Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing all entrances to your home are properly secured.
Professional Installation Matters
While DIY enthusiasts might be tempted to tackle this project themselves, professional installation ensures:
- Proper measurements for custom jamb adapters
- Correct fitting to maintain security integrity
- Installation that complies with Australian security standards
- 10-year warranty protection with all Prowler Proof security products
