A sturdy lock on
your shed is essential to protect your valuable
equipment from thieves and to protect the
children in your neighborhood from the
consequences of their own curiosity.
Your tool shed can be a lure to children,
animals, and thieves. Children are attracted to
sheds because they’re like clubhouses. They also
tend to be very curious about what’s inside such
structures. This is dangerous if you have
hazardous materials in your shed such as
pesticides, chemicals, antifreeze, turpentine,
or gasoline. You may also have an electrical
outlet or extension cord and power tools in your
shed. What if you left a power tool plugged in
and a child turned it on by accident, or out of
curiosity to see what it does?
Raccoons and other animals go exploring every
night to see what they can find to eat. If you
keep birdseed, dog food, or garbage in your
shed, you’re likely to attract a four-legged
bandit. If you store valuable tools, you may
well attract a two-legged bandit. Even if your
shed is not far from the kitchen door, you may
not hear someone creeping around your house
after midnight to see if they can free you of
your new lawnmower or router.
A sturdy lock on your shed is essential to
protect your valuable equipment from thieves and
to protect the children in your neighborhood
from the consequences of their own curiosity.
You should keep your shed locked whenever you’re
not using it. If you used your shed during the
day, check before you go in at night to make
sure it’s locked.
In addition to a good lock, you can maximize
security at night by installing a light on your
shed. Predators don’t like light; they like to
sneak around in the dark where they can’t be
seen. You can have an electrician install an
outlet or you can run an extension cord. A
motion detector light or a light on a timer that
turns on at dusk will run off all kinds of
pests. Having a light on your shed will also be
a plus if you need something from your shed
after dark.
