Don’t overlook building extra security into your metal building. Insure your roll up doors have locking provisions at ground level on both sides. Install several matching colored stainless steel rivets in the overlapping panel edges at ground level and up to about four feet above the ground. My metal building was broken into twice. Roll up door was secured at ground level on one side and slide latch up about three feet up on the other side. The slide latch side was pried up as far as it would go to gain entry and carry things out, @$4,000 in tools, etc. The second time they had a nut driver and removed the sheet metal screws where the panels overlapped and bent the panel back to attempt entry. The alarm system I installed after the first theft apparently scared them off this time.
