Is it possible to run a cable through the pre-drilled holes in order to lock the box to a post? We do not have a wall to mount the box to.

Sorry, but that would not really work. The holes are too small and someone could easily cut the cable or chain. This unit is built to be attached to a wall.

I think best bet would be to use treaded rod and bend it around post and into the holes, using lock nuts inside box to secure it really tight

I don't see why that wouldn't work. You'd have to make sure the box was secured and stable so that it didn't shift around.

yes, there are 4 holes in each corner of the box. When I secured it to the wall in our office I only used screws in 2 of the holes along the right side of the box d/t where the stud was. The holes should be big enough to run a cable through them. Be warned, though, the box is VERY heavy so it may be tricky to make the box secure and not have it "wobble" against a non-flat surface. Perhaps using extra-long zip ties might work depending on the size of the post. Hope this helps. Good luck!

There are four screw holes in the back of the box. The holes are roughly 4 mm and 5 inches apart.

You could but cables are easy to cut or twist and break. I would go with large worm gear clamps with the screw in the box it would be tighter to the cable.

No. The cable would be too tight. When I ran the cable I didn't use a conduit. I pushed a wire fish up from the wall plate hole, taped the cables to the fisher and pulled them down from the attic. Besides I ran 3 HDMI cables, an audio optical, and a coax cable.

I just talked to person at Diamond Group. He said there is a special tool that someone invented and sells for $250 to force the wires into the metal groves. He suggested I might try getting a large vice grip of some kind and after padding the box, use the vice grip to squeeze it forcing the wires into the groves. These are certainly not what I would consider a "speed box".

Yes. There are several mounting holes in back of box. Or you can drill additional holes in metal box if needed.

Is it possible to drill a hole to allow for wire to fit through? Also is it absolutely sealed shut where wire wont go through?

Craig: Yes, you can secure the frame with a cable or chain and lock via an access point behind the grill. The site of it should deter thieves but not prevent theft.. Bob

You can run a cable through the anchor holes in the back - or bottom - of the safe

Yes. The end that attaches to the box is part of the locking mechanism. By unlocking the box, you release the cable and it must come out to open the box. The other end stays attached to whatever fixed object you have attached it to.

You must use a master lock python cable which goes through the holes in back of the security box.

You can add a padlock. Don't have dimensions handy but I can tell you that it will mount on a standard 4x4 post.

I believe so with the understanding that: 1) you may need to drill new holes in the back. 2) your mount may rust. 3) you will need to waterproof the cable entry poknt.

The Bosch box has an under cut space at the bottom where the power cable and the power input is designed to enter. I would think that a 90 degree elbowwould be hidden behind this undercut area under the bottom of the unit. The back of the unit has a steel wall mounting plate which could be drilled out butcould be tricky to line up with a user installed hole in the rear the unit. Good Luck

Yes it can although all connections should be in a box. If installing a box is not practical make sure all connections are taped good. He might not do it that way because it won't be in code.

There are holes for securing it to a wall. I imagine that you could always drill a hole for a steel cable.

I can't see how you would run a cable through the bottom of the safe. The safe wouldn't sit flat. I drilled 2 holes in the safe, 1 in the back and 1 on the side both near the corner of the safe, in case I needed to move the position of the safe to a different location. Right now, I mounted a 1/2" eyebolt through the side hole and used a carriage bolt and nut and plugged the other closed. The forged eyebolt I ordered on Amazon, and the safe has a chain and a cable that is locked around a support column in my house.

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.
