Is anyone aware of a bike shop or company that will install a bike rack at a private residence?

My bike was recently stolen from my locked garage. Unfortunately, there was nothing to lock the bike to inside the garage, so the bike was easily taken once the garage door was forced open. Before purchasing another bike, I would like to install a rack to lock the bike inside the garage. Is anyone aware of a bike shop or company that will install a bike rack at a private residence?

The Kryptonite kit comes with 2 SDS-drive masonry bits. You'll need to rent a rotary hammer from Home Depot to do the job. They will either have a Hilti or a Bosch drill to fit your needs. Bring in the drill bits that come with the kit so they can fit the right drill. A regular drill will not cut it but a real rotary hammer will do it fine -probably the smallest one they rent will power through it. I think the largest drill is a 3/4" or maybe even smaller. You only have to drill down about 1-1/2" if I remember right when I put mine in. A good rotary hammer will do the holes in about 20-30 seconds even in the hardest concrete. Trying to use a buzz-tool "hammer-drill" will take hours if not forever. Using a regular non-hammer drill will take a full forever.

Get the right tool. I doubt the rental will not cost much more than $20 or so.
