Guard your shed.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Dublin<\/a><\/p>\n

If a burglar gets to the back garden, it\u2019s likely that the first stop will be the shed. This is because sheds usually have the tools they need to break inside a house.

Check your windows and doors.<\/b><\/p>\n

After the front door, windows are the next place a burglar will look.

Ace\u00a0Locksmiths provide locks for doors and Upvc windows.<\/span><\/p>\n
