How can I secure this door?

[Willeh85]

I've just bought a house, and I've got this horrible concrete garage with a double wooden door as pictured below. In the long term I intend to pull it down and rebuild.

The door is a bit warped and as a result the lock doesn't actually catch on anything when its in the locked position. I know that if someone wants to get in then they will find a way, but how can I secure this door cost effectively against opportunist thieves who fancy my tools?

I'll be posting more similar 'what/how can' I threads over the next few months as I get more jobs started. Thanks for your help.

Does it have side door access?

no side door access, on the inside it has two sliding bolts top and bottom on the right door.

Would the shedbars need to go across the whole door or just a good portion through the middle?

Great advice there chaps thanks very much. Some of the suggestions might be a bit over kill for its current set up, but worth noting for the rebuild.

I liked the suggestions about bolting to the floor and strong boxes etc though.
