I know it is overkill but I had a partial bucket of them leftover from a previous application, so figured no sense in going out to buy something when I had something already available. They went in to 2x4 studs (which are 3-1/2" wide) so no hat hangers.
I put some 6" lag bolts into the ceiling joists to hang my hats! :D

Just a quick pick of my tiny shed
first thing to do is build a stud wall inside to split it in half (half garden shed and half cosy workshop )
and the lock and hinge security need beefing up the key looks like it came out of a Christmas cracker
and the hinges need some Clutch Head screws or coach bolts

Jason,
Real nice workshop. Don't give up too much space to the gardening thing, it is only a passing craze. You will only have to reclaim it sometime in the future, just like I did.
After having the doors removed from my previous wooden workshop a few times, I tried everything, internal bolts,coach bolts thru the hinges, deadlocks, multi lever locks etc.
I eventually fitted an el cheapo shed alarm (about 25 squid from Wickes). It stopped them dead in their tracks, as soon as they tried to move the doors, the mag switches got them, and if they tried the window, the PIR inside picked them up. One thing they don't like is noise, the other is a dog hangin' on their soft or dangly bits.
The same alarm is now protecting my concrete bunker.

I was contemplating an alarm in b&q earlier this evening while buying some timber but decided to wait until I have finished the insulation and panelling before getting one
as nothing is going in the shop until that is finished
I could wire the shop into the garage next door as that is tied in to the house alarm but some people forget to set that one at night :bang:
so I think a separate alarm will be better
