Every point of entry into your business represents a vulnerability intruders can exploit to access. It is very important that you keep yourself, your staff and your assets safe and secure. Here are a few essential security tips for commercial garage doors.

Install New Commercial Garage Doors

One of the best security tips for commercial garage doors you’ll ever get is to replace older doors with newer ones. Many modern garage doors have the latest technology built-in, which can increase the security of your doors and building. While a stronger, more efficient door is a benefit, pairing the new door with a door opener that has Wi-Fi connectivity allows for the ability to receive alerts each and every time the door opens or closes.

Limit the View Through Your Doors

While a business like a car dealership may want to provide a full view through their garage doors, doing the same is not always appropriate for other types of organizations. You can minimize someone’s temptation to break into your establishment by limiting what they can see through your garage doors. If you want the best of both worlds, you can leave the window on your garage door unobstructed during the daytime and cover it at the end of each workday.

Add Insulation

Insulated commercial garage doors provide protection from extreme temperatures that may damage equipment or products. Adding insulation can also reinforce the outer panels on your garage doors, increasing the security.

Restrict Access

Only give access to the people who need it. If someone leaves the organization, change the access code and make sure the person returns the equipment that granted them access to the doors, such as a remote opener.

Blend New and Old Technology

Remote openers, particularly those that use a static code, aren’t always the best as they relate to security. Consider upgrading to a rolling code system that will change the code for your door every time you use it. You can double-down on your security measures and use a padlock or a strong deadbolt to further secure your commercial garage doors.

Regular Maintenance

For improved commercial garage door security, it’s a good idea to maintain your doors in good condition and repair them in a timely manner whenever necessary. For same-day maintenance and repairs in the Twin Cities area, contact OL Door Systems now.
