Evening.
On a previous thread I mentioned knocking down an old conservatory that had been erected when the garage was knocked down.
It's a bit of a tip at the moment - but we can't afford to rebuild it just yet.
The UPVC double doors don't fit particularly well. No idea where the keys are and the locking bolts no longer shoot into the frame - it's as insecure as you get.
I'm considering, in the interim putting a hasp and staple across the doors - my question is a) will it do any good? I'm both bothered about the doors themselves as it will be knocked down eventually. I can't really see self tapping screws holding out burglar bill tbh. I suppose it's more of a deterrent.
b) would I be better looking at a steel bar across the full length of the door?
Anybody had any experience of this?
It's completely separate from the house so it doesn't have to be Fort Knox
Cheers,
Tom
