I "broke" in very easily by removing the screws from the hinges at the other side of the door from the padlock. All I needed was a small screwdriver. Remedy by putting bolts through the hinges, (on both the door and frame). Also helps to put an extra nut on each bolt to lock the first nut tight. Also I have attached small pieces of wood to the back of the door on the strong Z shaped supports, which overlap the doorframe at the hinge side. This stops the door coming out from the frame easily if being forced with a bar. There was a locked shed on my new allotment.
