If your garage connects to the house, treat that interior door like an exterior one — a solid-core door with a deadbolt. It's the last line of defense if someone gets into the garage.

Thieves look for an open or unlocked door, a visible emergency-release cord they can fish through the top of the door, and remotes left in unlocked cars. Each is easy to address once you know to look for it.
