Worth a shot ? Easy to bypass ?
Cheers
I'd be taking the doors off the hinges if I saw that.
Shed = easy pickings. I had my shed broken into twice, after doing a hell of a lot of work to secure it. First time they lifted the roof off, second time they took the doors off.
Good insurance, a ground anchor, and CCTV to catch the bugger that did it.
Lots of that type of lock on vans,
reinforce the roof with builders band on the inside,
reinforce the sides with plywood or mdf, and stuff with old newspaper,
anti climb paint under the eaves,
security lights,
cctv,
baby monitor in shed, if you have mains,
bolts through hinges, another lock at the top, stel bars or grils on windows and thick curtains,
bike anchors to secure bikes to.
Oh and reinforce the dfoor on the inside with builders band, heard of thieves going equipped with battery jigsaws to cut around the locks and bolts, steel banding will stop the jigsaw.
Leave a bike running free. Proper crims will have what you have no matter what so it's pointless trying to stop them. General scrotes will take what's easy.
Leave a bike runing free. Got a fixie? Leave 'em that. If it gets nicked simply walk to the nearest corner next morning and pick up the bike off their cold, lifeless body.
Good points guys cheers.. Hinges are coach bolted/security light/good mortise lock/door reinforced/pir alarm(battery one/ just trying to slow them down 🙁
Insured too..
Will look into builders band 🙂
My last line of defence is ground anchor in a foot of concrete with a 13mm protector chain.. I've ordered a pair of those locks in my first post... I had bought what I thought were good quality hasp/staples and closed shackle padlocks but the scum just cropped the lower hasp eyelet(all they had time to before I rumbled them)
My garden is overlooked and have few curtain twitchers which I'm glad of so I reckon they won't want to make to much noise so I'm fitting what I hope will be noisy to remove/break to alert me/neighbours..
Baby monitor is a blinding idea I'm a light sleeper so ideal as a heads up 🙂
Bloody thieves 🙁
