Can you secure the box without using the screw? Sounds like folks are having problems with the screw closure.

Yes. The complaints about the screw are unjustified. The screw is used simply to ensure the case doesn't open in transit, and to prevent theft of individual tools in stores. It's only slightly problematic if you have no screwdriver, or no items that can be used as a screwdriver (like a knife).

I ordered two of these for xmas gifts and found that near the handle there is a little screw to undue so you can open the case, Why it is there I do not know. The items inside are fine and the case works well . but it is kind of funny when you first get it and want to open it you need a screwdriver to open it.

Unless there was a mistake at the factory, there is ONE screw already included INSIDE the damper assembly. You attach the damper to the cabinet, and snap the thing closed. I am betting you haven't opened the damper to see the screw! The way its' made the screw can't fall out. Good luck!

It uses 2 screws and is held on securely. No movement. Do not use the template that is included. Use the hole to hole dimension on the box to pre drill the screws. The template was slightly off and caused me headaches.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

There are screws and presets for securing - I used them, but had to use a drill to open the holes in the backing (drill through the presets). So - both.

Hi Suz. Just use your instinct... is very heavy so use strong and long screws. Is very easy at the end.

Mine is mounted with decent-sized screws to a concrete wall, and the case itself seems pretty tough. It would be hard to pry off, and would hopefully draw some attention from the neighbors, but I'm sure it's possible. With 12 buttons there are also only 4096 combinations, so someone could also defeat it that way. But it's a lot better than hiding a key. For that matter, what's to prevent someone from prying your door open?

No. You need to close the lid and turn the handle to lock. Also a good idea to push a few buttons to prevent anyone else from tampering with the box. You then need to clear and then enter your code. Easy once you have used it a time to two. Very well built, strong and secure.

Yes, the box has a key lock on one side. The hardware that attaches the box to the rail is inside the box, so as long as it is locked the box can't be removed.

i just tighten up the screws and i have not had any problem. it has been the best cart i have ever used. i wish i had had this one 7 years ago instead of wasting money on multiple different carts. you won't regret using this one.

Not really sure as I have not had that prob. Are those screws in the bottom near the hinges tight?

No screw, rather a metal tab that comes through the handle. When pressed with the included key (or very small flathead screwdriver) the handle can be pulled free. The opposite side works the same way. I was worried about security, but the part that releases has nothing to do with the lock. I don't think the tab can be accessed from the exterior once mounted.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

I had the same problem. This thing is very secure which is good unless the combination fails to work. I tried drilling the spot welds off the hinge which sort of worked but after much struggle and dull drills I finally just tore at the thing with a large screw driver and crow bar. After about 1/2 hour of struggle I finally got it open. I now use a key-lock key safe.

If you are able to access the back side of the lock and are mechanicly inclined you can remove the screws. Play with the buttons. I tried to reset my combo. Turned out i didnt push one of the buttons hard enough while doing so.

there are 4 1 1/2" screws on the interior of the box, if mounting on drywall into studs you will want longer screws. The box is fairly secure if someone was really persistent to steal the box they could which is why I placed mine in an inconvenience place to be able to pry behind it or swing a hammer at it. I would say all in all it is secure.

I double checked since some of the responses conflict.... there is a small plastic loop on the box and lid that a small lock can be slipped through... but the plastic could probably be easily cut through, so don't plan on it being secure.
