Argos metal shed not fit for purpose??

Well, the web page says:

Double sliding lockable doors provide for easy access.

Why would it have lockable doors if you can just push to open it?!?! You would EXPECT that if a shed has a lockable door, you wouldn't be able to get in any other way than opening the lock, although it also says that the lock provides easy access, so maybe they already knew that the design was sh*t?!?!

Yes "Hollydays" its not marked "burgler proof" but neither is your house doors and you wouldnt expect them to just open with hardly any effort and neither should I expect the shed doors to lock and still be EASILY opened.

As I said id be happy with any fix they come up with as I love my shed but I just dont think this shed is fit for purpose i.e. be able to store my items and lock them safely away. I see their advert in the Argos catalogue shows a sit on lawn mower being stored in it, now who in their right mind would store that in it if they cant lock it away? Im not asking much am I?

Pinkshoes - my thoughts exactly, I dont see the point of providing lockable doors if you can slide them past the frame catch and still get in.

I think you need to look closer at the legal term,fit for purpose.
A picture of a lawn mower shows you could store a lawn mower in the shed.It doesnt imply you could store it safely. If the lock didnt lock-I would say that was unfit for purpose. Anyway,this is just my opinion,what do I know.I do see the bad design,just not sure how you could tackle this issue .

I have to agree with this, the only stuff we used to lock in our shed was stuff that we didn't want the kids to play with. Garden chemicals etc.
Now we have a secure built shed (part of house).
