Securing the Garage Door
Sunday-07-21-2024- @ 13:05
In April, the Herons Glen Security Roving Patrol reported 79 garage doors left open between the hours of 11:30 pm and 3:00 am.

Is it a violation of the Declaration of Covenants to leave the garage door open all day? The answer is yes.

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Herons Glen Homeowners Association Article XIII, Section 2… requires that garage doors and/or roll down screens shall remain closed at all times except during ingress, egress, occupancy of the garage or during lot maintenance by the homeowner.

An unattended open garage is unattractive, very inviting to bugs, wildlife, snakes, and rats, and it provides easy access for criminals.

Do not leave your garage door open without the garage screen rolled down and remember to close and secure your garage door at night.

Solution for owners that want to leave the garage door open during the day-

Consider installing a roll down garage screen. Roll down screens allow for air flow, a little security and will help keep out the bugs, rats, snakes, alligators, and other curious critters.

Solution for owners that want to leave their garage door open

Consider installing a roll down garage screen. Using a roll down screen allows you to leave the garage door open, complies with the covenants and standards. Other benefits to using a roll down screen is allowing air flow in the garage, a little security and will help keep out the bugs, rats, snakes, alligators, and other curious critters that like open garages.

Screen transparency should allow ventilation without providing the ability to see contents inside of garage while the screen is in the down position. Framing and mesh screen colors must be white, gray (light or medium), tan or beige. Slider panels or panels with access doors are not permitted.

Before installing, please fill out an ARC application and get your approval first.
