Waterloo Burglar Proof Shed Door

Waterloo Burglar Proof Shed Door service is here for home owners having a shed in their back yard and want to keep it safe. A lot of people assume that they don’t need to protect their shed. It’s just a storage shack for out-of-season junk. Waterloo Burglar Proof Shed Door service will remind you that while the lawn mower that’s been sitting in your shed for years may not be worth much on its own, consider the accumulated value of your shed’s other contents — bikes, power tools, gardening gear, and much more. Despite holding such valuable items, Waterloo Burglar Proof Shed Door service know that sheds are rarely secured properly. Call us 24/7 for more information or for help!

Waterloo Burglar Proof Shed Door

Whether your shed is attached to your home or not, it should receive the same level of security as the rest of your residence and surrounding property. Our team will take you through some common shed vulnerabilities, as well as actionable tips to mitigate those risks without breaking the bank.

Structural Weaknesses, with obvious patches of rot or loose slats, your old, run-down shed provides little defense against thieves. There is a need to fix loose slats and reinforce the internal structure with new panels. Replace any rotten window frames or doors, and patch up any holes in the roof.

Second, you have to make it difficult for criminals to access your shed in the first place. Keep fence openings closed and secure, plant thorny bushes around the shed as a deterrent, and, if your shed is surrounded by overgrown shrubs, trim them regularly to ensure that burglars can’t use them for hiding.

For an added layer of security outdoors, make sure the potential vulnerability that old locks can bring, is taken care of. Your shed door has weak locks or clasps that can easily be broken or picked.

If you prefer traditional security, replace the old fastener with a strong hasp and staple secured with coach bolts. Then, add a sturdy padlock— preferably weatherproof or rust-resistant — and use it every time you close the shed. Keep in mind that the harder it is for a criminal to break into your shed, the less likely they’ll be to attempt an intrusion in the first place, as it increases the odds of getting caught.

Our team at Locksmith Waterloo is always available to come and replace the old locks with new ones, and also recommend more measures to be taken to improve the safety of your shed and the valuables inside it. Call us 24/7!
