Security advice after burglary

[Mattso]

Been burgled over the weekend. Someone forced entry into the side door leading underneath the house and took a bunch of stuff. Thought the space was safe but obviously wasn't. 

 

Now I need to secure the space and improve security. I'm aware that there are other factors such as lighting and cameras maybe but my questions is about the strength of the door and lock. 

 

I'm attaching several images of what the door looks like now. Shall I get a metalworker to remake and beef up the piece that's been snapped off (how do you call that round eyelet?) or maybe rethink the entire door?

 

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It's been cut. It took seconds. It will take seconds again after you've repurchased all the missing gear.

 

What kind of area is the property in, what is the value of the items stolen, and are they insurable?
