| i need to get a new garage door, i want to get one with windows in the top row of the garage door, but then people can see in . there are no other windows in the garage, so i like the idea of extra light when I'm out there. ( its an attached garage to my ranch style house, only a front door and a walk out patio door beside the garage entry to the house, basically three doors into the house) I've been in the house for ten years so i know the area. never really had a problem with security / vandalism but i don't want to create an opportunity. i am leaning toward windows and then if its to easy to see in put a dark tint on them - maybe. so would you get windows or not? |
| get one with frosted windows or just add frosted window film to the glass |

You can do whatever you want to the windows, but it won't keep some stupid little sh!t from breaking them.
I live in a nice quiet area and still don't like the idea of windows on a garage door. You might never have a problem, but if you did you would be kicking yourself. Don't kick yourself. |

I have a very similar home and area in TX. I went with an abundance of T8's and kept the overhead door windowless and secure. Another note, remove the release cord so they cannot use a coat hanger to put it from the outside. I also had an electrician wire the garage door opener to a switch inside the home. If someone tries to break into the cars to hit the garage door opener, we have it turned off from inside. Stay Safe |
