Well.... its a deterrent. Its 100x more substantial than the yale lock thats on there already, so it it stops someone yanking the door open (ive done it before) then its worked.  Smashing windows is a noisy business....  :happy2:

If your windows are beaded from the rear your ok, but front beads can be prized off with a screwdriver and window lifted out and propped at side of shed, that how my mates mountain bike got nicked a few years back  :scared:

A regular method round our way is to unscrew the door hinges, so buy a set of security screws, torx screws or carriage bolts.  Or, if you're paranoid like me, a selection of each!


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW. 
Full list of mods:  Seat inserts and a VW bottle opener.  Each worth 20bhp.

The hinges are internal (like a internal house door) so should be ok.  :happy2:

If you wire up that clasp to 240v AC and place a small sign somewhere for H&S stating that you may get electrocuted due to building works :evilgrin:

When I was a biker I knew somebody who dug a 6ft deep pit in front of his garage where only he knew where to walk and ride. He had reached his tolerance level with his bikes getting nicked.

He then placed a sign up saying construction under way keep out with all the relevant documentation. He woke up one morning to find a tea leaf in a pit!

He resisted the temptation to, in his words, 'give him a kickin'.

I think he claimed he couldn't read and he was just delivering leaflets or the like.

Not sure what happened.

Just another option. :evilgrin:
