HARDWARE & SECURITY
Beating the
garden burglar
Burg-Wächter believes that
effective security is all about
building in layers, with the
first line of defence for many
customers being the perimeter.
A weatherproof padlock, hasp
and staple helps keep garden
gates, sheds and outdoor
storage boxes locked. Similarly
a combination locking bolt is
ideal for using in a number of
garden and outside areas; from
stopping children entering
gated areas such as ponds and
pools, to securing the shed
and outbuildings that have
dangerous garden chemicals
or valuable equipment in
them.
From barbecues and patio
furniture, to gardening and
leisure equipment, the value
of items left in and around
the garden can be substantial.
This makes them a prime
target for opportunist thieves,
particularly with summer just
around the corner.
Whilst this may seem like
a bit of a departure from core
business, encourage customers
to protect their considerable
investment by offering them a
garden security kit. The simple
combination of a weatherproof
padlock, security cable/chain
and ground anchor provides
a number of convenient and
effective security solutions;
from allowing customers to
leave their barbeque and patio
furniture locked together in the
garden, to offering additional
security for equipment stored
in the shed or garage.
It’s also worth considering
installing a KeyMinder as a
simple solution for letting the
right person in and keeping the
wrong person out. More secure
than hiding a key under the
mat and/or leaving keys with
the neighbours, KeyMinders
are designed to ensure spare
keys are always available
without the need for cutting
multiple duplicate sets.
Coming in a range of
different sizes, KeyMinders can
only be opened by someone
with the right 4 digit code out
of a possible 10,000 different
user-resettable combinations.
Discretely mounted on an
outside wall, the strong curved
body is difficult to attack
and provides good all round
security.
