More and more your hearing of sheds and garages broken into round here which is quite frightening given the fact I now store my new bike in with my valuable workshop equipment. Tools alone would probably cost me 10k to replace and the poxy lock on the garage door wouldn’t slow down many people (I drilled it out once in less than 3 mins when I lost the key)
Usually I park the mrs car right up against the door which is a good deterrent but not always practical soooooo.
I made these. A pair of solid 50x5 stainless bumpers fitted with Yato locks. Probably cost me £80 all in with locks and bar but a small investment for what they are guarding. Design is such that you would need a very noisy tool to get in. (Grinder). The lock bars are completely shielded so croppers ain’t getting in there.
Weak point is the 4 bolts holding it to the floor. Obviously I’ve completely welded them to the plate and there own thread but I do intend to plate over them as well. Gonna take a bit of doing to get both of them off and drill the lock and you’ll set off the 110 dB alarm inside. I’d like to think I’d hear it long before they got in. Obviously when we are away the mrs car will be another measure in the way too. Still need to treat the stainless at some point on the heat tint.
