    I seem to be collecting locks. Surely each lock has its pro’s and con’s right?

    All locks fit

    This is the “hasp” which i’m using

    You do realise that a lock will only keep an honest man out?

    I’ll just lock it with a zip tie then and leave the house front door open!

    Surely one of these locks is more secure than the others?

    I like the square one as it appears to say wohu, which is a bit like woohoo. I have nothing more constructive to offer as they’re largely decorative.

    I assume you have an alarm inside the shed?

    IMO go for the cheapest lock you have for the front that will do the least damage to your shed when they break in.

    I used to live in a boat and used a variety of locks for a metal door

    In use the most waterproof lock will last the longest / be the most user friendly I would choose that and they are largely decorative when a shed is made of wood.

    The WOHU one locks the most secure – are you just asking us which looks the most bad ass??

    ermm, Is anything attached to the frame? It kinda looks like you’ve fitted both sides to the door…
    I’d fit 3 locks and hasps of differing types, top, mid and bottom.
    What are the hinges like?

    I haven’t got an alarm however the neighbour has CCTV which points at my shed and the Halfords appollo bikes are locked again using a ground anchor to concrete and a very heavy duty chain/lock 😉

    All this will slow them down if nothing else.

    I thought the strongest lock would be best to slow them more

    As there is a gap between the door and frame and it apears the wall is breeze block, a heavy crowbar would have it out in minutes, also what are the hinges fixed in with , bolted as well, then the roof easily lifted off.

    shed alarm, cctv, and hope

    Halfords appollo bikes

    There’s your security, right there. The thieves will get a hernia trying to lift them out of the shed…
