Ground anchors for garage

[byegad]

I have a similar ABUS ground anchor. With big rawlbolts into the concrete and ball bearings hammered into the Allen bolts they use I feel the week link is the lock. A serious ABUS lock means that I'm now pretty relaxed about my trike's security.

cheers for all the replies. I've got one of the ground anchors fitted, and they has the ball bearings to hammer into the hex head.

I now need to fit it and source a chain.

Until such time, new bike is staying in the hall.

Hardest bit of the job will be clearing a suitable space in the garage to fit it!

I would recommend beefing up the door security if it's an up and over as well.

The main issue is the lock, as it uses a very simple key. Try getting an additional hasp lock, or a shoot bolt.

I've got a big ground anchor that the best bike is bolted to, then two other bikes are chained and d-locked via the main anchor.

Bikes on the wall are secured with a cable system (i.e. lower value bikes/ones that can be replaced).

I blew a drill up fitting the main anchor - needed to go down over 6" into solid concrete, took ages. I then realised the builders had made a very good 'floor' in the garage.

An alarm is a good idea as well, especially if you only have standard garage door locks. It may not sop the pros but it helps send the more casual thieves on their way.

Hire a decent drill to fit into garage floors. I burnt my domestic one out drilling this one into my concrete.

Garage door bolts are also a good idea, I fitted a couple of these: http://www.directloc...ral-p-2433.html

This is the chain I have.
