In 2016, the overall economic damage caused by car theft increased by 11% compared to the previous year, climbing to a new peak loss figure of 291 million euros. Although these costs are generally covered by insurance companies, there is usually no compensation for the trouble and expense caused and for the fear this causes the victims of theft. So anyone who can park their car in a garage considering this development is well advised because a solid garage significantly reduces the risk of losing your car to theft. And that’s not all: a modern solid garage also protects against storm damage, hail, ice breakage, and marten bites!

However, to give two-legged car thieves no chance, it is important that the garage door and any garage door offer the crooks as much resistance as possible. The solid concrete walls of a ZAPF prefabricated garage prevent criminals from stealing the car of their dreams. In this respect, it is good to know that brand garage doors and gates, such as those used by ZAPF in its garages, are also particularly sturdy. This considerably reduces the risk of theft, because professional thieves immediately recognize that cars stored in ZAPF garages have to overcome considerably more resistance than a vehicle parked under a streetlamp. What’s more, the gate and door of ZAPF garages are installed in such a way that traditional burglary tools are very difficult to use. This is an additional deterrent for criminals!
Our smart solution
With our garage configurator, you can design your garage according to your wishes in just a few clicks – from the size to the fittings.
If you want to upgrade your ZAPF garage from a security point of view, experts recommend equipping the garage with an electric door drive and radio remote control – preferably as part of the basic configuration. This drastically reduces the time spent outside, which significantly reduces the risk of robbery, especially in the dark. Anyone who has followed the media closely in recent times will know that such crimes do occur and are by no means isolated cases – and in fact, the total number of violent crime cases rose by 6.7% between 2015 and 2016, from 181,386 to 193,542 cases. Reducing this risk by equipping a garage with a door drive and radio remote control is therefore a very sensible investment, as it increases security – which, incidentally, can also be retrofitted to old garages.
