for a bit more security, you could replace the screws with carriage bolts and bolt them from the inside against a large metal washer or steel plate. that way they cant be pried out or snapped off like screws can. Screws do not have much shear strength.
Thanks mate yep since filming this I have used round headed coach bolts and steel plates inside, it’s only a little demo for deterrent ideas, to hopefully inspire some others to do something. Thanks for watching my mate and I appreciate your feedback and comments 👍🏽😎 best wishes
Thanks mate! I know it’s not that strong and really isn’t designed to keep anyone out as such, but it will make a would be robber make more noise, which they don’t want to do, so therefore acts as a deterrent! Thanks for watching mate and I appreciate your kind words! Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Actually, the screws are not visible when locked. They are covered by the long bar, when locked. The real problem is these 3 screws are a joke: A break bar will extract them in 3 seconds. When you replace them with 8-mm or 5/16 bolts, please make sure that they are secured by a good strong piece of plywood, or 2x6 board. Because if they are only held by the 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) siding, a break bar will extract the bolts together with the siding.
Great idea. I have just finished erecting a new shed which will be a nice little workshop for me when I'm done and I've been thinking about how to better secure it other than what can be bought in the DIY stores. I think I will be nicking this idea :) Thanks for sharing. Atb Shaun
Great! I'll be doing a little vid on my DIY shed/ garage alarm set up too soon! It's just a little way of making the would be villain go back to the pub! Glad you found it useful mate! Hope you post some footage of your new shed! Thank you for watching! Take care brother and best wishes
Nice one mate! Yep something is always better than nothing! It’s a good deterrent at least! Thanks for your watching and taking time to comment! Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks! Yep it’s only a deterrent intended to at least make a would be burglar make more noise than they would otherwise want to! I obviously do have other security measures in place too. Glad you liked it and thank you for taking time to comment! Best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Yep you're right there bro! As we all know noise is the last thing a would be villain wants ! Thank you for watching again brother! Hope your having a great bank holiday! Best wishes my friend
yes it might put some scum off/ but with all that security/ it'll look like you have something worth stealing. now you've told them you have an alarm. nice job though.
Hi MDS ..... thanks for sharing - my adaptation of your design will be to weld some angle to some plate and bolt that thru the inner timber frame. Do that on both sides. Normal h/d padlock one side, motorbike disc alarm lock on the other (oxford also do an alarmed h/d padlock with 14mm shackle) :-). Thanks for putting your vids up! Stay safe :-)
Thanks again brother! Yep all great additions! I have other security systems as well as this 😁.... this is just a little deterrent! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and improvements! Stay safe my friend best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Good job; is the padlock bolt-cutter resistant? If not I recommend you get one so any potential thief would be forced to either smash the lock or bring a saw, which would obviously make a lot of noise and most likely deter a potential thief from even attempting a break-in.
Cementing some metal box section upright in the floor inside the shed against the wall, then bolt the brackets into those from the outside instead of using plywood
Where can I purchase one of those cameras you have.i need one that holds an sad card and can be hidden in my shed at the allotment as my door keeps getting smashed in.
Ebay £20... but they require a 240volt supply! I used to have the same issue on my allotment I ended up just leaving my shed door open! They caused less damage that way! Scum bags! Best wishes friend
In the US, we have what is called "game cameras" or "trail cameras" which might be what you need if the place where you need to put the camera does not have electrical power.
Hi MD - padlocks ..... if you add nuts and washers to the shackle (as many as you can and still close it) then that will hinder bolt cropping and getting a croebar in to lever padlock open. Not my idea, but l am doing this and its effective. Cheers :-)
Thanks my friend! Yep great idea! Anything to just make them make more noise! And hopefully they will choose to try elsewhere! Deterrent is all i was after! Best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Do you have a link on eBay for one,I do leave the shed door open now but I have been told by the secretary of allotment to secure it as the thiefs might set fire inside.

Reciprocating saw and they'll be in right quick. But, for the typical burglar, they're moving on. Like it and would still use it, good and easy to do. Thank you for the video.
Thanks mate! 👍🏽... yep I agree like I said it’s just a deterrent really, I know it’s easy to get past, but makes a opportunistic crook to have to make some noise! And I’m armed! Lol.... best wishes mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks mate! Might not stop anybody from getting in, but will make them make some noise doing so which might put them off trying!! Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽
whatever lock you have, they can come with a angle-grinder and cut it. Or just drill with a small silent drill the lock barrel of the lock because it is made of brass. You need special lock, made of hardened steel. But then, they may come with acetylene torch, or portable electroerosion machine... Or CO2 industrial laser (I have an app of such laser on my cellphone...)
Great design with the angle iron covering the screw heads, but why not use countersunk bolts and nuts through a plate inside, or at least large washers.
Great job, I really dont think anyone would ever go through the trouble and risk of getting past all that. Just dont make the wife angry, she may lock you in! 🤔😂
Lol..... she has locked me in before ! She tells me by accident! Yeah right!!!!! I must have deserved it though I guess! Lol..... thanks again brother! Best wishes friend
instead of a box section at 1 end and a padlock at the other could ya not just use a padlock at either end ?? and replace the screws in the hinges with bolts !!
Yes like I said it’s a deterrent not a in passable device! There is also an alarm system, cameras and other security measures! So if you were to carry heavy blot croppers over my 6ft fences, around my heavily watched back yard, past my neighbors gaurd dogs, past my police linked alarmed, down my flood lit garden to my shed, bolt croppers still wouldn’t get you in cleanly! Thanks for watching!
excellent, i think nowadays cameras are the biggest deterrent to thieves but that rattle sure would put them off. and dogs! nothing gets past a dog, i suppose there is a mad dog at the address ;) ha
Yep the cameras are a good deterrent for sure! I got the name Mad Dog from my military days might tell you all why one day! Thank you for watching again brother! Best wishes
Mad Dog Survival Im a time served mechanical/electrical maintenance engineer by trade (full time job) and I also served 12 years in total with the military (reserves) ending in 2003. Now I work within a team at a aero manufacturing company. I'll tell you about the nick name another time! Best wishes mate
damn! dont see this in shop,need something to buy in one day not to make. for basement door in Europe. we have got basement under 5 floor house not like in USA
Yes sorry! I don’t know if anyone sells anything similar! Honestly it’s not hard to make, or maybe if you know anyone who could make it for you? Best wishes friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Yep your right there! I tried a method of doing that but it also made it a pain in the ass for me when I wanted to get in my shed, but yes you are right best wishes mate
Yes like I said it’s a deterrent! Grinding etc will make noise, easier for the opportunist to go elsewhere. And this isn’t my only form of security. Best wishes
Like I said it’s a deterrent not a solution! It’s not the only security measure I have in place! It’s about putting off the opportunity criminals that’s all! Something is always better than nothing!

That’s a really good ideal and all screws are covered by the bar stopping anyone armed with a screwdriver great job mate
Thanks mate! I know it’s not that strong and really isn’t designed to keep anyone out as such, but it will make a would be robber make more noise, which they don’t want to do, so therefore acts as a deterrent! Thanks for watching mate and I appreciate your kind words! Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
I agree. Great cheep fix
I like the idea of just making use of what you have around. You've already answered the visible screws etc.. so easy to change to bolts.
Thanks! Yep definitely worth doing! Best wishes friend 👍🏽👍🏽
Actually, the screws are not visible when locked. They are covered by the long bar, when locked. The real problem is these 3 screws are a joke: A break bar will extract them in 3 seconds.

Thank you mate! Simple and easy! But does the job! Thank you for watching again brother! Best wishes
Good shout that pal, I like it….. like you say, it’s about slowing them down or delaying them, 👍🏻
Thanks mate! Yep it’s just a deterrent really, makes them make some noise and choose an easier option down the road lol.. best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
You are a very smart man, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Glad you found it useful! Best wishes 👍🏻😎
Exactly what I was thinking of making I'm just thinking bigger to span an entire garage door on my lock up
Nice one mate! Yep something is always better than nothing! It’s a good deterrent at least! Thanks for your watching and taking time to comment! Best wishes 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Good idea, should keep most unauthorized out🤔.
Maybe secure the hinges ? So they can't unscrew them.... Excellent video... Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thanks! Yep it’s only a deterrent intended to at least make a would be burglar make more noise than they would otherwise want to! I obviously do have other security measures in place too. Glad you liked it and thank you for taking time to comment! Best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Good "Bear proofing" Bro, A visual deterrent is the first line of security. Once they see it that will put them off.
Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I would like to see a video on the camera. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks mate! Yes I’ll probably get round to doing a camera video! Best wishes brother
Have you got a link to the shed alarm
It’s a home made alarm mate 😎👍🏽

Nikolay Tarkalanov not necessarily if my neighbors here it they will call me .

Yep your absolutely right mate, I just did this as a quick fix at the time! Thanks for watching mate 👍🏽
Good vid
Thanks mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎
I just built a shed and if someone breaks in i will break them in.🤣
Agreed my friend 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Do you have a lought of thieves there??
Unfortunately from time to time we have a spate of break ins, but I’d say no more than other local areas. Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Great job, I really dont think anyone would ever go through the trouble and risk of getting past all that.
Just dont make the wife angry, she may lock you in! 🤔😂

Brilliant
Thank mate. Only a deterrent but it’s worth a go. Best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Genius
Thanks glad you liked it 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Bolt cutter?
Yes like I said it’s a deterrent not a in passable device! There is also an alarm system, cameras and other security measures!

See comments above!
excellent, i think nowadays cameras are the biggest deterrent to thieves but that rattle sure would put them off.
and dogs! nothing gets past a dog, i suppose there is a mad dog at the address ;) ha
Yep the cameras are a good deterrent for sure! I got the name Mad Dog from my military days might tell you all why one day! Thank you for watching again brother! Best wishes
so it wasnt that you caught rabies then ;) ?
sounds like a good story. were you an engineer i noticed you like tinkering with landrover

Yep your right! Best wishes friend
Easy to get into just a heavy duty bolt cutter or cordless grinder ……lock gone
Yes like I said it’s a deterrent! Grinding etc will make noise, easier for the opportunist to go elsewhere. And this isn’t my only form of security. Best wishes
padlock is weak point..cutting pliers..3sec a no padlock
Yes I know but it is just a deterrent! 👍🏽
great big peice of steel and tiny little screws holding it to the shed,about as secure as a childs piggy bank
Like I said it’s a deterrent not a solution! It’s not the only security measure I have in place! It’s about putting off the opportunity criminals that’s all! Something is always better than nothing!
