The 6 Second Garage Door Break-In You Can Stop Tonight

I stood in my own driveway with a stopwatch and timed it: six seconds, and a man is inside a closed room in my house. No noise, nothing broken, nothing on the ground the next morning to tell you it happened. That is why the report says no signs of forced entry, and why your insurer will ask you three separate times whether you are sure you closed it. I am Ray Kessler. I fixed doors for a living for thirty five years. I never caught a burglar — I just replaced the doors they came through, about four thousand of them, and a good number of those were not doors at all. They were garages. The fix is a plastic zip tie. Thirty seconds, about three cents, and I show you exactly where it goes and how to be sure you have not trapped your own family doing it — which is the part most people leave out, and the part that matters. WHAT WE GO THROUGH 0:00 Six seconds — and the fix, first 1:51 What that red cord actually is, and why nobody is taking it out 3:38 The gap at the top of the door, and why it has to be there 6:23 The Tuesday house, and the camera that was pointed the wrong way 8:46 The zip tie: through the hole, snug, cut the tail 9:28 Why nylon and not wire, a bolt, a steel tie or a padlock 12:29 The shield behind the release, and the top seal that has gone hard 13:41 The bar in your track — free, and nobody knows it is there 15:01 "Nobody is coming into my garage with a coat hanger" 16:43 Three more that cost nothing: the visor remote, the windows, the side door 18:55 The door nobody thinks about — and it is the worst one you own 21:16 Everything, in the order I would do it THE WALKTHROUGH I wrote the whole property down the way I would do it if I pulled into your driveway myself. What to check before you spend a dollar, the length and the gauge of every part that goes in, the afternoon in order with the mistakes that make you do it twice — plus what a locksmith charges at eleven at night and the questions to ask before the van leaves, and the fixes that cost exactly nothing, including the letter you can hand your landlord so he pays for the deadbolt instead of you. Nothing in this video is a way to open anybody else’s door. It is a way to find the weak spot on your own and close it. The one I am asking you for costs about three cents. #GarageDoorSecurity #HomeSecurity #Locksmith #DIYHomeSecurity #GarageDoor
