Secure Your Outbuildings

☀️ Making the most of your garden this summer? Don’t forget to secure your shed and garage.

Sheds and garages often contain valuable items like bikes, tools and lawnmowers, but they may be protected with weaker locks than our homes. They can also provide burglars with the tools they need to target your property.

✅ Use strong locks and secure hinges and windows

✅ Consider a shed alarm

✅ Check your insurance covers outbuildings

✅ Lock away tools and secure bikes with a ground anchor or stand

✅ Keep valuables out of sight and doors locked at all times

✅ Property mark items, take photos and register serial numbers with Immobilise

🚲🧰🎣The most commonly stolen items from sheds are bikes, mowers, sports equipment, power tools, and garden tools. A few simple steps can help keep your property safe.
