KEEPING YOUR SHED AND GARAGE SECURE


 

Take a look at your garage & shed, It's worth having a good padlock on the door with no exposed screws. Pay attention to hinges, as these are sometimes easily removable. If you have windows these could be vulnerable unless these are secured with wire mesh or grills. Keep it locked at all times. Consider a battery operated shed alarm they respond to movement or door contact with an extremely loud siren. Lock everything away your tools can be locked inside a secure box or locker with a secure chain. It’s always worth draping an old sheet or blanket over the top of mowers or bikes to keep them covered from view. Property marking your items is advisable and some tools can be painted with your name or postcode. Forensic marking is also an option. The top five most common items stolen from sheds : Bikes, Mowers, Sports equipment, Power tools, Garden tools
