securing outbuildings

[NorthernRaider]

One of the very best security things I ever saw was a friends timber shed, it had the normal shed lock but the devious bugger went to the side wall of the shed nearest the door and drilled three 5 /8 holes right through so line of sight the holes passed right behind the door. On the frame either side of the door he fitted a length of dexion angle iron with holes drilled through to match the position of the holes in the frame.

Then he simply slid 3 lengths of 1/2 steel bar through the she side, through both pieces of dexion this putting three solid steel rods across the back of the shed door. from the outside the only tell was three bits of green paracord fastened through the end of the bars so they could be pulled out easily, and a plant pot stood in front on the bars providing a screen of the bars. Unless you knew the bars were there you would never fathom out when the door would not open. On OUTWARD opening doors you need four pieces of dexion, one either side of the door and two on the door.
