Secure Door Hinges

Shed doors usually swing out, so the hinge pins are accessible from outside. All a thief has to do is pop out the pins and remove the door. To stop this, buy a Penrod security hinge with tamper-proof pins.

You can also retrofit an existing hinge by removing the center screws on both sides, inserting a finish screw through one side and allowing it to protrude about 1/4-inch. Drill out the receiving hole slightly so that when the door is closed the finish screw head engages the other hinge. That way, even if the hinge pin is removed, the door can’t be taken off.
