OK I know the horse has bolted... but after our bikes were recently nicked I need to look at increasing security on the shed.
An alarm system and CCTV cameras are on the way, and I'll be installing new ground anchors and chains/locks, for each individual bike (rather than a single long chain for all of them).
My main concern is stopping anyone getting in again....
It's a sectional concrete building with (at the moment) a fairly thin steel door that was opened with a pry-bar (breaking the lower hinge and bending the door). The insurance company will only replace on a like for like basis, and money isn't unlimited.
I'm considering fitting an external steel security gate. Is this reasonable? and does anyone have any tips on how best to mount?
I'd guess it would be coach bolt through the wall, and through a wooden batton on the inside, but I've heard various warnings about drilling sectional concrete buildings.....
Alternatively I've been quoted £600 to replace the whole thing with a UPVC style door with multi point locks.... really could do with a cheaper solution though.
