Protect Your Shed & Garage

Protect Your Shed & Garage

Sheds and garages often store valuable items like bikes, tools, and gardening equipment. Here are some quick tips to help keep them safe:

Use Strong Locks

Fit a good-quality padlock and consider reinforcing doors with a hasp and staple.

Install Motion-Sensor Lights

Thieves don’t like being seen. A light that comes on when someone approaches can be a great deterrent.

Keep Valuables Out of Sight

Cover windows or use frosted film so no one can see what’s inside.

Secure Your Items Inside

Anchor bikes and tools to the floor or wall using security brackets or chains.

Mark Your Property

Use a UV pen or property marking kit to label your belongings.

Stay Alert & Connected

Talk to your neighbours and report anything suspicious. A watchful community is a safer one.
