Luckily, there are cheap solutions to prevent such opportunities for home invasion. A small zip tie is all you need. Here are 3 simple steps:
- Place a zip tie through the hole the emergency rope is in.
- Connect it through the hole of the shuttle above and tighten.
- Tie them together.
Problem solved. The zip tie is strong enough to prevent a coat hanger from pulling down the emergency release.
Securing a wood board to the top of the garage door is another preventative method. Nailing or screwing a two-by-four will do the trick. Now the would-be intruder will not be able to get a hanger inside your garage in the first place.
