    this guy jim cook is obviously one of those with a few years of experience and couldn’t resist this chance to be a show off like so many other beginners. jim, you’re a hodad, not a locksmith.
    the videos you’ve made are a few years old so just maybe you’ve figured it out but since this gar is still up i’m guessing you are still a pontificating ahole.

    On the garage door opener itself adjust the arm that connects the door to the opener so that its as close to a 90 degree angle (straight up and down) as possible. This will keep someone from being able to pry the door open from the bottom, since at that point the arm will just push up into the opener rail and not allow the door to open. most openers I’ve worked on have the arm angled backwards which can easily allow the door to be forced open with a pry bar.

    Thanks for explaining the garage door opener only holds the door “to a certain extent”. I have started using the extra latch after this video. Thank you very much.

    Problems I see! 1 your teaching the bad guy good ways to access the home.
    2 the garage door opener will tear the door up on 99% of the doors if you forget to unlock the slide lock. Solutions If you use the slide lock with opener kill the power by unplugging the opener too. if you have glass next to door have a keyed on both sides deadbolt, also known as dbl. cylinder. Important have a key inside 5 feet from door hidden from window view. in case of fire! No Deadbolt? Get one! Locksmith sic 96-03

    @huless They used a Stihl saw, kind of petrol driven circular saw with diamond cutting blade. Just cut straight through the brick and gave it a push. Open sesame.

    I have on two occasions had someone break in through an attic vent but could not get out of the house once they were in because of keyed locks. One in, they could not just throw the lock and walk out..The alarm went off and when the cops and I arrived the culprit was laying spread eagle on the floor and off to jail he went. It may not have been a good idea for you, but having keyed locks has protected my belongings twice.

    I had deadbolts that required a key to open from the inside but replaced them with the traditional throw lever after I became concerned about it being more difficult to get out of the house in a fire. Since a burglar can easily get in through any window or by kicking a door with a wooden frame I decided the locks keyed on both sides were just a feel good measure that put my family at additional risk and replaced them.

    Yeah they walk up and break the glass but you didn’t mention when they reach inside they need a key to unlock the deadbolt. Never use the locks that you just turn the lever and the door opens. A crook will get you every time.

    Well, security systems may do some good but the robber could disarm or disconnect them if they are literally desparate to pinch some doggone thing! You could also say the same about having a warning sticker or sign that informs others of having an alarm fitted as a detterant!
