When investing in a portable building, we hear it often... People are concerned about keeping their things secure. Whether you're using your building for storage, a workspace, or a hobby room, protecting your valuables is essential! At Willow Prairie Portable Buildings, we understand the need for security and offer these thoughts for you to consider for enhanced protection, giving you peace of mind.

Locks: The First Line of Defense

All of our buildings come equipped with sturdy keyed locks, providing a basic level of security. However, for those looking to add extra protection, installing a deadbolt on doors that are capable of having them installed can be a great option. A deadbolt adds another layer of security, making it more difficult for intruders to gain access.

Windows: Light versus Security

Windows can be a great addition to your portable building, allowing natural light to brighten your space. However, they can also pose security concerns by exposing the contents inside. Here are some ways to keep your building secure while enjoying the benefits of windows:

Window Coverings: Use blinds, curtains, or window film to prevent prying eyes from seeing inside.
Shatter-Resistant Applications: Consider applying shatter-resistant window films offered by many security companies for added durability.
Strategic Placement: Position windows in areas that maintain privacy while still providing light.
Transom Windows: Our Transom Windows can be installed high on the walls, allowing natural light to enter while reducing visibility from the outside, enhancing both privacy and security.

Security Cameras and Motion Sensors

Adding surveillance cameras and motion-activated lights can deter potential intruders and provide real-time monitoring. Wireless cameras allow you to check on your building remotely, offering convenience and security in one package.

Keeping Your Portable Building Secure

Beyond locks and cameras, here are a few additional security tips:

Secure the Perimeter: Install fencing or place the building in a well-lit area to discourage break-ins.
Anchor the Building: You may consider securing your structure to a foundation or heavy anchors to prevent theft.
Use Smart Locks: Upgrade to keyless entry systems for added convenience and security.

At Willow Prairie Portable Buildings, we understand that security is crucial. From built-in keyed locks to additional security upgrades, we offer solutions to help protect what matters most to you.
