Sticks like sh*t/no more nails - advice on battens please

Jackmydad

Any glue is only as strong as what you're sticking it to.
Screw to battens every time for me.

The problem with metal / wiring / pipework detectors, is they show you what they can tell is there.
But don't show what they can't tell is there.
Which is obvious. Sort of.
So it's great if it says "There's something there"
You don't drill.
But if it says there's nothing there and there is something there it's not so great.

Again wiring should be in "safe zones"
Should be that is. Don't rely on it.

If in doubt. Especially if in a cupboard I'd cut a minimal size hole to have a look, and stick the piece back in after.

Rather than securing your bikes how about increasing the security in your house, I'd suggest they would be more interested in stealing your tv or jewellery
