Requirements for fixing the shed shackle: the shed shackle lock is designed to be fitted to sheds made with framing members from 30mm up to 50mm deep, with up to 15mm additional thickness of boarding on the outside of the shed.

Sheds built from thicker timbers can usually be accommodated by counterboring the bolt heads from the outside (the instructions provide more guidance), and we have longer bolts available that give another 20mm range (see below).

The bolts are fully threaded so that they can be used on thin frames but these will naturally provide a poorer quality fixing than more substantially-framed structures. Note that you will need access to both sides of the shed wall where you want to mount the Shed Shackle. Access from the outside is only required to poke bolts through.

If you intend to fit it to a shed wall with a fence behind, it is generally not difficult to lift a few of the fence boards and thereby gain access for the bolt holes. Be careful with sharp nails if you adopt this approach. (Of course, this assumes that you can get access to the other side of the fence!)

Tools Required to fit a Shed Shackle: Electric drill (10mm chuck); 16mm AF spanner or adjustable wrench; eye protection; pencil; possibly a small hammer.

Longer Bolts: 100mm bolts are offered at the same price but they are supplied without threadlock. If you choose the longer bolts, you may wish to use Loctite, which is available from DIY and car accessory stores
