Padlock protector

[Robotstar5]

My old garage doors had a rimlatch type lock on the outside, I would quite often find fresh toolmarks on it and the visible tongue, well they weren't to know there were 3 padlocked steel bars across the inside

Through the open window round the back

NO NO NO dont buy,

I never suggested he did .. I said look at the profile and clearance, I stand by that statement.

Pedestrian door on the side

The padlock is the weak point on that set up, its junk, and can be picked, or shimmed in seconds.

I made it easy, electric fence unit connect to all metal on door, works wonders. before we came out here I had an attempted break in on my fish farm, they lent ali ladder against the building, it 'got' them ladder fell on them and they ran off leaving ladder ( nice one too ) and blood. Never had another break in attempt.

As long as you have sign up saying electric fence ( you are on a farm so that should be OK ) you are covered, as we all know the wire fell out and accidently touched the back of the door. Used out side 'light' switch, on another building, to turn it on and off.

A yale disc lock would be stronger than your existing one.

So how was the pedestrian door made thief proof then!!

Have to say those sterling locks are useless, had one on my side gate into the back garden, the key snapped inside with it still locked. 2' breaker bar in the shackle had it open in seconds. And I'm not a big guy.

5 lever mortice lock for starters.

retired engineer friend of mine made a locking device for his beach hut. only bit that showed was the stud that the padlock went through and that could rotate so there was nothing to lever against to brake the lock.

For some people the mot is the only time work is done on there vehicles. I know were talking about a small minority here but how many of us put a job off due to lack of funds or time.

ok yes i can under stand why people say change the padlock and i can understand that, but as some that dealing with £10 padlocks at home and £150 padlocks at work theres not much difference once its shrouded as they cant get to it. my £150 work ones will take a massive beating on it but if they cant get to it to beat does it really need the bigger lock?

im sure there is a differance in a £10 lock and a £150 lock but buy how much prob the companys/people buy them think thay are much better beacuse of the price

remember the original d lock they showed a bloke trying to hammer it drill it out took ages

i can get them open in 2 mins get a bic pen remove all the insides melt the non writing end and put in the lock wait a few mins for it to harden and turn it pops open

Sounds similar to the lock we had on the armoury at the gun club, one of these beasts

Chubb assa abloy. Use them on the kennel and more. Brilliant locks that don't fail in nasty conditions. A mate works for them trouble shooting across the country. Will be in Devon one day Scotland the next if one of thier locks has trouble.

these are the older ones 20 years ago the one with the round hole

from memery they challanged any one to remove the lock in x amount of time and they will pay x price a sizeable amount of money to remove thats why they changed to a standard key type lock

Am I allowed a 1 Oz solid slug from a 12 bore at point blank?

Cheers folks, input appreciated. Yep the back of the door is going to get beefed up beyond washers!

That gap's about 2 inches wide. Reduce it more?[/QUO have a look at the padlock boxes on most shipping containers.
