With an increasing number of garages being broken into in our area according to our neighborhood Watch, I am growing increasingly worried as I have over £3000 of easily removable hand/cordless/power tools. A couple of weeks ago I removed most of these tools from the garage and put them in my cellar but it is a total pain as you seem always to need the tool that is in the cellar.
I have a friendly kitchen cupboard installer and he has been kind enough to supply units that he removes. I have strengthened them and fitted casters and new worktops but they are easy to break into. I have put a lock & bar in the garage door so that it is not easy to open. Upgraded the side door lock but have not fitted bars to the window but you have to climb over the heating oil tank to get through the window.
Just view "Norms" program on garage workshops and the mitre cupboard. I like the pullout shelf options but security would be a problem. I would have to put them on casters and upgrade the back from light ply but the doors would still be a problem.
How can I get round these security issues and slow the thieves down and keep the insurance company happy.
Thanks in advance
