Workshop Security

(1/24) > >>

raynerd:
As I continue to build up more and more equipment, I grow more concerns about the security in my workshop. I`m just curious as to what steps you all take to ensure your shop is safe. I haven`t got a huge budget but I`m interested to learn more about what is available and what precautions you all take...

I have a full security system at my house. One that is monitored etc... Plus I have 2 very large dogs. One of them, a German Shepherd. Sales people and other door to door types tend not to stick around for long when she starts to bark...

My workshop is part of the house and I have a very loud electric bell that will ring whenever any garage door is open unless I have deliberately switched them off.

I keep the windows covered and I do not work with the doors open (less time for passers by to see the goodies).

I have a small box at the front door which has a numeric keypad, a keylock and a nice flashing LED on the front.  The LED is powered by the door bell circuit.


No problems yet, fingers crossed.

People watched as my workshop was being emptied....they thought I was moving out.

No-one took a registration number or asked any questions....bells, though they can help for the casual thief they can be silenced quite quickly.

Having said all that you have to do what you can, my garage has a wireless camera linked to the house and will have a loud bell.....
