Is Your Shed Or Garage Secure?


There has been numerous shed break ins over Birmingham in recent weeks. Gone are the days when a garden shed or garage were full of items such as half-empty paint tins and plant pots.
They are now home to expensive electrical items, top of the range bikes and a whole host of other items on the wish list of opportunist criminals.It is important that you see your shed or garage as an extension to your house and afford it the same levels of crime prevention.
  • Put away all tools and equipment. Ensure sheds are locked when not in use using solid and secure locks.
  • Use metal cupboards inside the shed or garage to make it a little bit more difficult to to gain entry to expensive items, such as power tools.
  • Install outside security lighting which comes on automatically at dusk
  • If you have a burglar alarm, consult with your installer to see if you can extend it to cover outbuildings, garage and sheds
