Why Outbuildings need Security Fasteners

Did you know that 22,500 Britons fall victim to Outbuilding burglary every year? Outdoor sheds, garden rooms and workshops are an unsuspecting but surprisingly common target for theft.

Why?

Outbuildings like sheds, greenhouses, garages, summerhouses and workshops are used for many different purposes - from storing garden equipment to running a business; some are even converted into games rooms, bars or TV Rooms. These outbuildings can contain lots of equipment, including:

  • Power tools
  • Garden equipment
  • Bikes
  • Mowers
  • Sports and hobby equipment
  • TV Screens
  • Expensive Plants
  • Fridges and freezers

On average, thieves steal around £900 worth of items from outbuildings, with reports of bigger thefts stating over £4000 worth of stolen equipment.

But the impacts don’t stop at significant financial losses. The burglary of an outbuilding can lead to emotional loss, potential increase of insurance premiums, and a nasty feeling of insecurity. This can, in turn, damage wellbeing and force people to move house.

Most outbuilding burglaries happen because the thief twists the standard screws out of hinges or locks, before removing them and easily opening the door.

So, what's the solution? Hafren Security Fasteners offers tamper resistant fasteners for any application. The Clutch Head or Sentinel® can be used to secure locks and deter thieves with the unique one-way drives. Check out our full range of products, or contact our team to find out more.
