I like that screen. Better make sure that it is well fastened down as it looks good enough to steal.   :lol: :lol:
I like it. You could probably make them up on a custom basis and sell them.  :nrocks: :nrocks:

Cheers  :beer:

Wes, I agree, I think you need to weld up a screen to protect the screen! Nice one, looks great.

Davo J:
What a master piece, that will keep them out. Maybe you could make it so if someone tampers with it the hammer will fall down and hit them on the head. LOL

Powder Keg:
Thanks for the compliments guys. I don't think the door would hold another one :lol: There is 70 feet of re-bar in this one. I had to go and buy some more because the 60 feet I bought at first got all used up. Maybe I could design :smart: a roller to support the door when I open it?

Personally I'm a believer that a brick garage can be made suitably secure just by engineering it correctly.

Metal bars over windows are an obvious one, and if you're really concerned weld them from box section and fill them with some kind of carbide/concrete mixture, making hack sawing impossible. A petrol powered grinder would do the job (eventually) but is obviously unlikely and loud.

As for doors, well steel is obviously the way again. Ensure to fit the wavey lock things on the hinge side such that removal of the hinges serves no purpose. Clearly the door frame can't be wood as it can just be broken, replace or reinforce with steel. Lastly the locks, to avoid picking and make it difficult to kick them through position one of the locks right at the top of the door where you can only just reach it, and another at normal height. The top lock will be a nightmare to pick and is difficult to get a good impact when kicking or hammering.

Obviously the door itself needs to be impenetrable so if it's a normal door then just pop some steel on it, if you have time weld up a steel door and face it with ply or some wood of your choice.

If you have some kind of rolley or vertical moving garage door, well, good luck, I haven't thought of a good way of securing such a thing. Personally I would replace it with two big swinging doors made from steel w/ a wooden facia.

Once you've done all that there's really only the roof to worry about and nothing big's going out that way, so...



Alarms are no good what so ever. Nobody listens to them. Stop them getting in is the only way.
