The door latch is the weakest point of a shed. it�s quick, easy and silent to slide a tire iron through the padlock and twist it until the latch is torn off. this high security latch will prevent that kind of easy breaking and entry.. Above is an example shed door hinge where some of the wood screws have been replaced with coach bolts. this is the kind of thing you should have if you want your shed to be secure. here is a hasp and staple with a coach bolt securing each side.. It also means you need to use security bolts to firmly attach the hasp to the shed and shed door. you can use security screws, but these can be ripped out of wood door or frame with a pry bar. by using bolts with a steel plate on the other side of the door will make it much harder to rip the hasp off of your shed..
When a car is parked in the driveway next to the shed, the door can't be opened, providing extra security. we opted for a wooden shed with a pent roof for more headroom: 3.. Fit two padlocks on the door: one about a third of the way down from the top, the other a similar distance from the bottom of the door. choose closed-shackle padlocks to make the shed door more secure � they have very little of the metal hoop exposed, which makes them much less vulnerable to someone wielding a pair of bolt cutters.. Securing the door with a good hasp & staple and a good quality padlock is a good start, but these must be fitted properly and it is just as important to secure the hinges! we have another advice page about shed door security..
