HOW SECURE IS YOUR SHED, GARAGE AND GARDEN?

People take care in securing their homes but not their sheds, garages or outbuildings; take steps to improve it or don't leave valuable items such as lawn mowers, golf clubs and bicycles inside.
* Use a closed shackle padlock not less than 2.5 inches in width, made of hardened steel with five pins.
* The fittings should be bolted through the door of the shed and reinforced at the back with a steel plate.
* The hasp should have concealed screws or coach bolts fitted.
* Protect glass by fitting a grille or strong wire mesh to the inside of the window and fit locks to any window that can be opened. Cover over the window or blacken out with paint.
* Make sure that you can see your shed from the house.
* Mark valuable items with Smart Water or Selecta DNA.
* A drive post on the outside of an up-and-over door will stop the door being opened and is a visible deterrent.
* Five lever mortise locks to BS 3621 for connecting doors if the garage is attached to the house.
* Fit a low cost, battery operated shed alarm to the door of your shed or garage.

Deterring burglars

As well as making your property secure as you can also make it difficult for a thief to get it.
Install security lights to illuminate the front porch and/or the garden. There are two types; lights that come on automatically, when it is dark and turn themselves off when its light or lights operated by sensors that come on when movement is detected.
Keep shrubs, hedges and large plants cut back. They can provide a screen for thieves to work behind.
Keep your boundary fences, walls and gates in good condition.
Keep an eye out on your neighbour's property and encourage them to do the same for you.
Consider setting up, or becoming members of a neighbourhood watch scheme.
