best do it yourself home alarm for garage?
frogholler9 asked:
A few nights ago, someone broke into our garage and stole around $2000.00 worth of my husband’s tools. The garage is separate from the house. What would be the best way to protect our garage from intruders. Are there any alarm systems that would make a lot of noise and have lights come on as well if someone is approaching the garage that my husband can install himself? There were locks on the doors to the garage but the thieves used a crow bar to break away the hasps that held the locks.

get a rol of liquid semtex, put it on the back of the door, put a constant circut on the door (if the circut breaks, the semtex goes) that will make plenty of noise, it will call the cops automatically for you, and if your lucky, the cops will only need a hearse
or do the same constant circut with a klaxon, some motion detection lights, a metal door (solid core) and a quality deadbolt, perhaps even a lock bar (one of those wood/metal beams you put behind the door) it will cost way less than the tools that may get stolen again would

Radio Shack and some hardware stores used to sell inexpensive alarm systems that fit what you are wanting.
