I am one for security wherever you can make it happen. What do you currently have for a lock and/or door latch. A picture would be most helpful since there are a number of variations.

People have installed permanently attached strong boxes inside their units and that works if the valuables are small. But if you're talking things like a generator then you'll have to look at a security cable anchored inside the PUP.
Throw up a picture so we can see what the door has and offers for reinforcement. You can always just add a locking hasp installed with with rivets then use your own padlock.
