Your Home Security

Garages & Sheds

Garages and sheds are often full of expensive tools to steal or use to break into the house.

Do not leave a garage or garden shed unlocked, especially if it has a connecting door to the house.

  • Fit strong padlocks and hardware to shed and garage doors, making sure that the doors are solid enough not to be kicked in.
  • Fit locks or bars to windows.
  • Lock ladders inside your garage or shed.
  • Consider lockable steel boxes or anchor posts fitted to the floor to secure tools and equipment.
  • Gardens tools and machinery should be permanently marked with your postcode.
