Don't bin it, powdercoat/paint it and bolt it to your shed. Like me hahahaha. Stud broke through on this one.

To make it usable go to your local hardware supplier and buy a ball of string,a bag of nails, some strong glue and a garden gate latch.
Glue the nails around the hub at different angles, the more you can fit on the better. Then using the sting hang it from the roof of your shed and hold it in place with one of the studs through the gate latch.
Drill a small hole in the door and feed another length of string with a loop tied at each end through the hole. Put one loop on the gate catch and when you close the shed door knock a nail in to get the right length and attach the other looped end to it.
Every time you lock the shed door make sure the hub is hanging from the gate catch and the string fastened to the nail on the outside and when you get up in the morning if your shed has been broken into you can use a simple elimination process to find the culprit.
After all there cant be that many thieving b@5t@rds with a broken nose and a face full of holes can there?

How do you get in without getting it in the face tho?
