What Garage Door Locks Do We Service?
T-handle locks on overhead doors, slide bolt locks, side-mounted deadbolts, and the interior entry door lock. The lock on the overhead garage door itself is often overlooked. If your garage has a side entry door or a door into the house, those need good locks too.
We see a lot of garages in South Florida with zero locks. People rely entirely on the automatic opener. But the emergency release cord on most openers can be tripped from outside with a coat hanger in about 6 seconds. A T-handle lock stops that.
Why Lock Your Garage Door?
Because an unlocked garage is the easiest entry point in most homes. According to a study published by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), 9% of burglars enter through the garage. The automatic opener's emergency release is a known vulnerability.
A $75 T-handle lock or slide bolt prevents the door from being lifted even if someone defeats the opener. Worth every dollar.
Common Questions
How much does a garage door lock cost?
T-handle locks run $75-$125 installed. Slide bolt locks run $65-$100. If you need the entry door from your garage into the house locked or rekeyed, that's a separate service starting at $125.
Can you install a lock on an automatic garage door?
Yes. We install manual locks that work alongside your automatic opener. You'd engage the manual lock when you're away for extended periods and disengage it for daily use.
My garage door T-handle is broken. Can you fix it?
Usually we replace it. T-handle mechanisms are inexpensive ($30-50 for the part) and replacement is faster and more reliable than trying to repair a worn one.
Do you rekey the entry door between the garage and house?
Yes. This is one of the most overlooked security points. If someone gets into your garage, that door is the last barrier. We recommend a Grade 1 deadbolt on it.
