Any advice on the best ways to secure a shed door from intruders? I'm considering interlocking hinges, and a bolt-cutter "proof" hasp lock. Anything else I should consider?

You best security is to not put small valuable items in there. A table saw, or lawnmower is probably ok. A chain saw or skill saw or cordless drill, likely to be stolen. – Chris Cudmore Jun 4 '12 at 19:31

If there is no power at the shed they make solar powered units. – mikes Jun 3 '12 at 23:59

You forgot locks, electric fence, security guards, and razor wire. – Tester101♦ Jun 4 '12 at 11:59
