Other than running 240v through them, anyone got any good ideas for keeping secure?
No power on site btw.

Not really practical unfortunately. Will be in them every day. Plus there's a handler on site that only needs a Lucas key

I'd thought about something like that. As said I'll be in them every day so there's a balance between security and being a pita to get in myself

I know of one that was like fort Knox and the robbers cut a hole in the roof with a still saw

Could I have a price please. I don't think I'm too far away from you and our area is definitely suffering at the moment.

The buggers are rife. Were in weals of Kent. This one was installed on a local sports ground. Was broken into 2 times before the parish council pulled their fingers out.

Got into one at ours cut the hinges and opened it as 1 big door

We find welding some rebar over the hinge helps with that. It means they have to cut that fist then cut the hinge. Even with a battery grinder that’s a tall order with several batteries.

Your rebar or even a length of angle iron would be better welded on the inside of the door then even if they cut throught the hinges they won't be able to open the door as it will be behind the door frame of the container
How much

local plant companies rental units have 2 angle pieces on each door so they fit behind the container front post when shut , so cutting the hinges just leaves the door in place jammed behind the corner post .
There is no way you can make anything secure enough as you can cut through the back or sides just as easy if not easier with a stihl saw in sense the more you make them secure the more you raise the game and the thought that there is something of sufficient value inside to justify the time to cut it open .
There are so many units around full of such low value stuff that some thieves must sometimes be very disappointed with the haul they get when making the effort to break into them , on building site odds are there will be some power tools , copper pipe cables etc outside of that there is just a likely to be someone's home furnishings in one

Your never going to stop them, but you can slow them down and have them make some noise.

I throw anything of value under the pile of rubbish in the corner of the shed and leave a defunct chainsaw and angle grinder on the bench.

Heard a good idea the other day, if you have a tube or box as a lock, then pack with sheeps wool so it jams the cutting disc.
Seem to remember a post on here about someone lining a container with some sort of insulation to jam disk cutter.....b@strds would probably torch it if they could get in though.
