What security certifications does the Trimetals Protect a Bike 940 hold?

The Protect a Bike 940 holds the Police Preferred Specification approval and the Police Secured by Design mark. It also has Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) approval to both Level 1 and Level 2. These are independently verified certifications that confirm the store meets strict physical security standards. Very few bike stores on the market carry all three of these approvals simultaneously.

What security equipment is included in the box?

The store comes with a full security kit. This includes a heavy-duty ground anchor rated Solid Secure gold, a 1.5m chain with padlock that is Thatcham approved, a stainless steel hasp and padlock, a door bolting system and a battery operated PIR alarm. The door also features a keyed handle with locking bars at both the top and base of the door frame. External bolts are fitted with lock nuts to prevent panels being removed from outside.

What are the dimensions of the Protect a Bike 940?

The external size is 9ft x 4ft (2.7m x 1.2m). Internal depth is 2625mm and internal width is 1310mm. The eaves height is 1740mm and the ridge height is 2100mm. The door opening is 1740mm high and 1160mm wide. These dimensions are suitable for storing a full-size motorbike with room to work around it.

What is the Protect a Bike 940 made from?

It is constructed entirely from PVC coated galvanised steel panels. The roof is steel with a pent style. The floor is also steel. The galvanising process protects the steel from rust and corrosion. The PVC coating adds a further layer of weather protection. External fittings are stainless steel. The result is a structure that is both fire-resistant and completely maintenance-free no painting or treating required.

Does the Protect a Bike 940 need a base and how difficult is assembly?

Yes. Assembly must take place on a level concrete or paved base. This is important for structural stability and for the security features to work correctly. The packaged weight is 195kg so delivery and handling will require planning. Installation is available as an add-on service if you do not want to self-assemble. Contact the supplier for installation pricing and availability in your area.

Can this store help reduce my motorbike insurance premium?

Potentially yes. The product page states that some insurance companies are offering Protect a Bike customers lower premiums. This is because the store holds Police Preferred Specification and LPCB certifications which insurers recognise as credible security measures. It is worth contacting your insurer directly to ask whether storing your bike in a certified security store affects your premium before purchasing.

What is the warranty on the Protect a Bike 940?

The Protect a Bike 940 comes with a 25-year panel warranty. This covers the steel panels against defects. This is a strong warranty for a metal garden structure and reflects the quality of the galvanised PVC coated steel construction.
