Husky Build-Out Mount - Locking Mount, 12-Gauge Steel, V2

Different Than Expected, But Perhaps Even Better!

What a great option for mounting the Build-Out boxes to a surface! The specs say that the mounting bolt size (or screw?) is 1/4-inch, but I have to say that a 5/16" carriage bolt is a *perfect* fit. I mounted my case to a wooden deck. Carriage bolts cannot be removed from the top; so, this increases security for the base. I was surprised that the locking mechanism, when open, leaves the boxes free to lift out without using their red latches. I wasn't sure what to think about that at first. Given the heavy weight of my bottom box, having it completely unlatched makes it easier to remove without having to manipulate the red latches AND grip the heavy box for lifting. So, I approve! Not sure if those mounting to a wall would feel the same. Once closed, the locking mechanism is solid and accepts a standard padlock. The powder coat upgrade is beautiful and worth the extra price. Overall, this is a very solid base for mounting and some security. Great job!
