I have a brick shed, the door is ok but not great. I was going to alarm it and add it onto the house alarm, but will installing a stronger door be better? I know its easy to say both, but alarming will cost 20 quid a new door probably 100 quid.

i should add the shed is fully powered, it feeds lights inside/outside, also a pond. I may installed a small security light, but already have two at side of house and one on the back of the house. You could kick the door in quite easily i would of thought tho.

Get a separate shed alarm, and a decent padlock.

Is there a way to reinforce the door rather than replacing it? If you have electric in or near the shed, you could also install a motion detector light. I have also seen these with a wire to the house that turns on a light inside to let you know there is activity out near the shed. Just a thought.

Alarm the shed. My theory being..... stronger door likely to lead to heavier use of potential intruders crowbar more damage caused, more expense and aggravation. I have even gone to the extent of leaving my summerhouse come workshop unlocked, but alarmed. If someone wants to get in, let them just open the door, causing no damage, and let the alarm go off. Have baseball bat near back door, and good neighbours.
