Securing Your Garage photos

[Topcat]

HI All,

Great forum!!! Some of the garages in here are so wild

I have been learking & post for a while now and i am about the organise my shed, I have a steel shed with a door & garage door but before i start can some of you help with photo of how you safely lock your dream rooms,.

The thing is once i start i will be pulling down the wall to my office unveiling a lot of business gear to make room for my 15 24 working area.

We can't shoot intruders in Oz - a shame really cos i would like to then drag the intruder out onto the lawn to warn off others

If you could help i think it would help a lot of members cos i am stuck on this issue

I also understand if you dont help

DOesn't look good hey!

From what i have read in here to date the deadlock seems to be the way to go

I have a lock through my garage door rails. It doesn't completely cure the problem but they will have to think about it a little while before coming up with a solution and maybe they won't be able to get larger equipment or vehicles out of the garage. Plenty of smaller stuff that will go out of a man door, but if they have enough time they could clean it out. Hopefully not before someone notices.

Drill a 3/8 " hole in the side rail right above a roller. Put a padlock through it and the door wont be able to open.

Now the only other thing is the door - mine is steel framed but with is the best deterant

This works great on my 16 X 7 but would be difficult on a taller door. Just a short piece of chain and 2 heavy S hooks. I also cut the power to the opener so I don.t forget and hit the button and maybe burn up the clutch or motor. I have also used a pair of vice grips above a roller also.
