Garage Cabinets for Security

Garage cabinets are also a great security feature.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Let's say that you have a lot of tools.  Well, even something as simple as a socket wrench set can run you as much as $60 if not more.  Add to that tools such as claw hammer, a set of saws, and various wrenches, and you'll end up spending several hundred or even several thousand dollars.  Well, garage cabinets are unobtrusive places in which you can put your tools so that anyone walking by can't just swipe them.
To add to their security features, a lot of times, garage cabinets can be installed with locks as well.  For some tools particularly high ticket items such as power tools, a locked cabinet is almost required.  However, it isn't just for tools that you may want to think about getting a locked cabinet.

Storage Cabinet Installation and Security

Did you know that something as simple as installing a set of locked storage cabinets in your garage can also help lower your insurance rates?  It makes sense if you think about  it.  Insurance companies are very concerned about their loss ratios, and theft is one of the biggest causes of insurance claims.  A locked cabinet won't stop a determined thief to be sure, but it can delay one significantly so that he or she thinks twice about the item, or until law enforcement arrives.  Insurance companies are really big on security measures such as alarm systems, deadbolt locks for the doors, and locked cabinets.
So in addition to safety, and clearing up clutter, there is another compelling reason: security.  So you may want to consider garage storage cabinet installation in Phoenix.

Garage Cabinets: Safety in the Garage and in the Home

Garage cabinets can make your home safer. Did you know what are the leading causes of fatalities in the home? Sometimes it is accidentally consuming poison, but one of the biggest causes is falls and other household accidents. In fact, according to this article excerpt from WebMD: "Home may be a place to escape the dangers of the outside world, but a new report shows dangers abound on the home front as well -- causing as many as 20,000 deaths, 7 million disabling injuries, and 20 million hospital trips in the U.S. each year. Despite those staggering statistics, more than half of American adults surveyed say they can't think of anything they should or would do in the coming year to make their homes safer or to prevent unintentional injuries.

What does installing garage cabinets have to do with home safety? Well there are two causes of falls and the injuries and fatalities that go along with falling: trip hazards and falling from ladders. If you have too much clutter in a garage, and you're always stepping over boxes and sidling between storage containers, you could possibly lose your balance and a fall can result. And climbing up even a three foot stepladder to get a box off a shelf can also can cause a fall. As for how a set of cabinets can help, please read on.

Storage Cabinet Installation and Structural Safety

Some garage storage cabinets are built into the walls, adding additional structural support to your garage.  Additional structural support means that if there is some sort of high winds or other weather problem, your garage will be sturdier as a result.  This is one of the most interesting things about our business.  The best reason where cabinet installation is concerned however is obviously clutter control, but even clutter can be a hazard if it is in the wrong place or there is too much of it.  
So, let's recap here.  Safety? Check.  Clutter control? Check.  These seem to be excellent reasons on their own to install garage storage cabinets, don't you think?
