Your Garage Is a Gateway—Secure It with Confidence
For many homes and businesses in Metro Detroit, the garage is more than a place to park. It’s a primary entry point, a storage area for valuables, and a frequent access zone for family or staff. That’s why securing your garage door is one of the smartest safety investments you can make.
At 313 Garage Doors, we provide comprehensive garage door security upgrades to protect your property from forced entry, unauthorized access, and technology vulnerabilities. Whether you’re enhancing a new door or upgrading an existing one, we help you lock it down—without locking yourself out of convenience.
Why Garage Door Security Is More Important Than Ever
According to law enforcement statistics, garages are one of the most vulnerable entry points for home invasions and theft, especially if left unsecured or outdated.
Risks of Poor Garage Door Security:
Manual lift doors without locks are easy to breach
Old openers use fixed codes that can be cloned
No sensor or alert system means you won’t know if it’s been opened
Detached garages are often overlooked during upgrades
Open doors left by accident create major opportunities for theft
A security-focused garage setup reduces these risks and gives you full confidence in your home or business protection.
Top Garage Door Security Features and Upgrades
We offer a full lineup of mechanical and electronic upgrades to fortify your garage against intrusion and unauthorized use.
Heavy-Duty Locking Systems
Basic locks are easy to bypass. We upgrade to tamper-resistant lock systems that resist prying, cutting, and tampering.
Options Include:
Slide bolt locks – Manual deadbolts that secure the door from inside
Automatic deadbolt locks – Engaged when the door is closed
Smart locks – Integrate with your opener for one-tap security
High-tensile bar locks – Add extra reinforcement across the door panel
Padlock hasps for commercial roll-up doors – Strengthens dock and warehouse access points
These mechanical upgrades can buy you critical time during an attempted breach, or deter it entirely.
Smart Security Integration
Modern garage doors should connect to your smart home or business system. We install openers and accessories with built-in security intelligence.
Smart Security Features:
Rolling code encryption – Prevents code cloning by changing codes every use
App alerts – Get notified when the door opens, closes, or is left open
Auto-close timers – Eliminate accidental open-door situations
Guest access control – Set temporary PINs or mobile credentials
Video integration – View your garage entrance live
Garage door activity logs – Know exactly who came in and when
Pair your smart security garage door with other systems like Nest, Ring, or ADT for full perimeter defense.
Keypad Entry Systems
Keypads are a great way to offer keyless, secure access for family members, employees, or delivery drivers.
Features:
Custom user codes
Time-based entry permissions
Automatic lockouts after failed attempts
Weather-resistant keypads with backlit keys
Integration with app alerts and logs
We mount keypads securely, program them for your lifestyle, and help manage access without the hassle of keys or remotes.
Motion-Activated Lighting
Garage lighting is a strong deterrent to intruders. We install motion-activated LED lights that illuminate the area the moment movement is detected.
Lighting Benefits:
Increases visibility at night
Helps cameras capture better footage
Deters intruders by simulating occupancy
Enhances safety for late-night arrivals
Light alone won’t stop a break-in—but it significantly reduces the chances of one starting.
Impact-Resistant Panels and Reinforced Construction
For garages facing alleys or high-traffic areas, we offer upgraded impact-resistant doors with:
Multi-layer steel or composite panels
Wind-load reinforcements
Internal bracing for better structural integrity
Polyurethane core for strength and insulation
Tamper-resistant hinge and track attachments
These doors don’t just stop forced entry attempts—they also resist weather, debris, and vandalism better than basic builds.
Custom Security Solutions for Residential and Commercial Clients
Every property has different risks. That’s why we tailor our security recommendations to your layout, neighborhood, and door type.
Residential Applications:
Attached garages with internal home access
Detached garages with valuables or equipment
Homes with frequent deliveries or guests
Properties in high-traffic or high-risk areas
Commercial & Industrial:
Warehouses and service bays
Storage garages and vehicle fleets
Auto shops and logistics centers

FAQs – Garage Door Security Upgrades
Is my garage door opener secure?
If your opener uses fixed codes, it may be vulnerable to hacking or code grabbers. We recommend upgrading to rolling code smart openers.
Can I lock my garage door from my phone?
Yes. Many smart openers include auto-lock functions that secure the door when closed—and send alerts if left open.
Can I add a lock to my garage door manually?
Absolutely. We can install mechanical slide bolts, deadbolts, or reinforced bar locks—even on existing doors.
Is a keypad more secure than a remote?
In many ways, yes—especially when combined with smart logging and scheduled PINs.
Can smart garage systems be hacked?
They’re extremely secure when installed correctly. We use encrypted systems with multi-factor authentication to protect your access.
