Think vertical in the garage. There’s lots of wall space above automobile level just waiting to get used.

Garage safety guidelines

Shine a light for nighttime safety. Install two exterior spotlights on either side of the garage door and a good overhead light inside. Motion detector lights are nice for automatic illumination as you pull in — or as a prowler noses around.

Computerize the garage door lock so no one needs to worry about forgetting a key. Children can even go without one, as long as they can remember the code — so make it a word. Hide a house key in a designated spot in the garage so kids or forgetful adults can get in the door. Do keep the door leading from the garage into the house locked, unless you like to reward burglars who succeed in cracking the garage door code with an easy walk inside.

Regularly test the electronic block on the garage door opener, which makes the door stop when it hits something, by putting a garbage can in its path and hitting close. Unblocked, a misfired close message may crush the hood of your car; in the worst case, the door may strike a child. Choosing aluminum for the door will make it lighter and therefore less lethal to things in its way, as well as save you the regular paint job.
