Reinforce Your Shed Door in Under 20 Minutes
Most shed door hinges are fixed using simple woodscrews — and unfortunately, thieves know it. A few seconds with a crowbar is often all it takes to rip standard screws straight out of the timber and force the door open.
The Pragmasis Shed Hinge Security Bolts Kit solves this problem properly. It replaces those weak screws with heavy-duty coach bolts that pass right through the door and are secured with nuts on the inside. Once fitted, the hinge becomes far harder to pull out, greatly improving the security of your shed or outbuilding.
This is one of the quickest, most effective, and most affordable shed-security upgrades you can make.
Why Upgrade Your Shed Hinges?
Stops hinge-side attacks – prevents thieves prising the hinge off with a crowbar.
Replaces weak screws – coach bolts can’t be unscrewed or pulled out from the outside.
Strengthens the door – creates a through-bolted hinge fixing rather than a simple surface screw fixing.
Fits most wooden sheds – ideal for standard strap hinges and T-hinges.
What’s Included (Enough for Two Hinges)
- 8 × Zinc-plated coach bolts – 60 mm or 80 mm length (depending on selected variant)
- 8 × Zinc-plated nuts
- 8 × Spring washers
- 8 × Flat washers
- 1 × 6.0 mm HSS drill bit (high-quality, suitable for timber and most metals)
- Full installation instructions
This kit upgrades two hinges, as found on most shed doors.
Easy Installation
You’ll need: A drill, a 5 mm spanner or small adjustable spanner
Installation typically takes under 20 minutes: drill out the existing screw holes, insert the coach bolts, fit the washers and nuts on the inside, and tighten. That’s it — your hinges are now significantly more secure.
Choosing the Right Length
60 mm bolts – for standard-thickness shed doors
80 mm bolts – for thicker doors or reinforcement framing
If you’re unsure which size you need, choose 80 mm — you can always trim excess thread if required.
Built for Real-World Security
We’ve designed this kit based on years of testing and customer feedback. Coach bolts provide vastly greater resistance to levering, tearing, and pulling forces than wood screws ever could. This kit forms part of a solid, layered defence.
Protect Your Tools, Bikes, and Gear
A shed is only as strong as its weakest fixing — and for most sheds, that weakness is the hinge screws. This kit fixes the issue. Upgrade your shed hinges today and reduce the anxiety of shed break-ins.
