I forgot to add in about Masterlocks. The standard lock you see on tool sheds (padlocks) arent much help. While they can be shot and still stand like the package says- The center is very soft brass. A cheap power drill or even a screwdriver and hammer will make quick work of them. If you upgrade the lock then the latch becomes the weak point. See paragraph about the front door.

In case youre wondering, the Mul-T-Lock is is damn near unpickable. The pins lay on the side so that there isnt enough room to work with normal tools. You have to be serious master of picking to even go near them. see picture.
