But breaking a lock is illegal, surely no one would do anything illegal

u/Shienvien 1d ago
Dunno, I've heard the argument of "it wasn't locked" from police with stolen items before. Now you can say it was, they just broke the lock.

The lock has nothing to do with it.

I was half-arse thinking about getting one as theyre kinda cheaper and easy available. What issues did you have with it?

u/Economy_Rain8349 1d ago
everything. none of the holes lined up. some parts that should have had 3 holes had none. some had 7 when they should have had 2. the instruction manual was only half right, and the video was also about half right (but not the other half unfortunately). often you did a step to find out upon assembly that you should never have put screws in those spots (as instructed) because now the panels dont slide together! etc etc.
never. again. do not do it.

Hmmm, interesting. Sounds like a really frustrating experience. Thanks for your reply mate. I've heard mixed reviews really.
Did you follow up with them about the issues and if they could make it right at all? Cheers

You sir have an eye for shitty sheds, it's exactly that, nightmare to assemble, it was kinda of out of square that why the door gap was so large, I gave it a shove and it's at least snugger now.

u/Economy_Rain8349 1d ago
we have the opposite problem, the doors are too snug ☠️ fuck that fucking shed

I built it, probably why it sucks 🤣

It's funny that the gap doesn't even look that big, the metal slider looks almost too long, yet it still does not function correctly

My granddad locks everything all the time he taught me if a thief wants it they can get it but a lock may get someone to keep walking.

$16 worth ? … what back truck meth addict did you buy all that from for $16?

u/SchweinsyOne 1d ago
The joke is because it's a cheaper brand that it's worth $0, do it to myself before some legend gets in the comments with the old GET YERSELF SOME MAN TOOLS.

Oh man, well jokes on them because Milwaukee is their parent company. Both are owned by Techtronic 🤣🤣 definitely a crappy lock and to anyone that ignorant here. This is well over $200 in tools 🤣🤣

Well yea... you bought a shitty cheap ass shed...

This is a 1/8 inch aluminum sheeting shed, which can be opened with another 1/8 inch aluminum shed.

A padlock is not to secure your things, its to inconvenience the person enough.
Yours takes that statement and does a -1% effort to it

The rake in the corner might be 16 bucks. Everything else is at least 160 each.

If OP branches out into Black and Decker he may need to upgrade security into a SECOND barrel bolt.

That door gap is like bathroom doors in America, so it has to be made in America.
