Ajax Outdoor Security for Garages, Sheds and Storage Units – Melbourne
Why Outdoor Security for Garages, Sheds and Storage Units is Important
Garages, sheds, and storage units are especially vulnerable targets for thieves, often due to their detached location, low visibility, and lack of strong security. In Melbourne’s suburbs, where detached garages and backyard sheds are common, the risk of break-ins rises sharply—especially from alleyways or side gates.
High-Value Targets
Power tools, bikes, and vehicles stored in garages and sheds are prime targets for burglars, with each breach resulting in significant financial losses.

Limited Traditional Security
These spaces often lack robust protection. Standard locks or old alarms rarely deter determined intruders or provide early warning.

Storage Units
Attach DoorProtect Plus to main doors and MotionCam Outdoor inside for evidence. Use DualCurtain Outdoor for shared facilities. Install WaterStop in flood-prone units.
