Related: About this forumSo my shed was broken into by the thief taking the door off the hinges....
They are double doors that swing out and I am wondering what I can do to inhibit this guy from doing it again.
Any suggestions?

(2,104 posts)with doors fully open bolt them to the frame and doors. Chains won't help if the doors can be made to swing open when the shed is 'locked' with a weak locking setup absent hinge pins.
Either way you'll have to consider that the next attack might be on the way the two doors lock together if the pin trick won't work again for the thief.
