"There are a number of ways to deter thieves from breaking in to a detached garage. You could fit Pacri bolts, common manufacturer's names are Enfield & Asec. They can be tricky and time consuming to fit though.

If you Google Garage Door Defender, this is a good deterrent but also draws attention to your garage as it's so visible and thieves may question what you have inside of value."

"If you have electrical supply in the garage I advise get an alarm system in the garage. One that is separate from the main house if it’s too far away to be included on the house system"

"Hi Cheryl,

I can install an IP CCTV camera on your detached garage and link it to your house using a CPE bridge. Also a Pyronix Home Alarm can accommodate detached buildings.
