Shed & Garage Security Advice


Protect Your Shed & Garage 

 

Sheds and garages often contain valuable tools, bikes, and equipment. Here’s how to keep them secure:

🏠 Lock It Up
Use strong padlocks and consider fitting a shed alarm or garage defender.

🔦 Light the Area
Install motion-activated lights to deter intruders at night.

🧰 Hide the Good Stuff
Keep tools and bikes out of sight. Use lockable boxes or anchor points to secure them inside.

🔧 Mark Your Property
Use UV pens or property marking kits to label your items – it helps police return stolen goods.

🚪 Reinforce Entry Points
Upgrade hinges and use coach bolts or security screws to make doors harder to force.

👀 Neighbourhood Watch
Let trusted neighbours know if you’re away and keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
