Other than using one of the handles, is there a place to loop a chain lock in order to secure the box to a post or fence outdoors?

You could loop it through one of the forklift pockets on the bottom or pass your cover lock through a chain and lock it to the lock tabs. Other than that, there are no integral loops or anything like that to pass a chain through.

You could do it with 1 hook. You just need to wrap the chain so it doesn't slide up the post when you are lifting. Use the hook to loop over the lifting part of the jack and attach to the other end of the chain

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

Yes. Just snap open a chain link and then close again using pliers. I actually used existing chain and wire.

It has a loop on both top covers for a lock. Once locked, you can not open the box.

I personally can, given the way my bike is designed. The chain is plenty long (though hefty to the point of awkwardness during your first few uses...I got used to it). It is so long that in order to bike, I have to creatively wrap it around several of my bikes rods so it doesn't drag or get in the way. It's a great lock for a high-crime area.

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.

No, unfortunately I do not see any way to add a lock of any kind to this box.

No I could not find a way to lock it. It is capable of being bolted into the ground. It is really just to keep the bike out of the weather and that's about it.

There are two small locking holes for a pad lock next to each latch. You could also put a cable through the handle.

This is a standard lever handle on the inside, I do not believe it can be set to not lock, I would not recommend it for outside as it does not perform well in direct sunlight, when the sun hits the electronic finger scanner it beeps over and over which may run the battery out quicker. Mine is inside and it does get sun during the early morning hours so I cover the electronic finger scanner with a sticky note. I have been very satisfied with this lock we have three in use in our business and all of them perform well for their intended purpose.

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

I checked with the manufacturer and this is what they wrote back: "There is no security locking feature that comes with the trailer. I think you could unhook the trailer and fasten the trailer frame to the bike frame with a bike surety chain. In this case the trailer would be sitting next to the bike, not behind it "

It uses a key. Unfortunately the lock assembly is secured by a mechanism held together by a screw that continuously comes loose. I learned that lesson with the first one I got. When I got the second unit, I tightened the screw every time I used it; it still failed in the locked position. Fortunately, I didn't need to get the boxes cut open, as I had nothing inside either box. I finally got a Hornady Tripoint Lock Box online via Bass Pro Shops. Hornady has other models you can check out on the Hornady website.

There isn't a locking mechanism with the rack. It's easy to use the usual bike cable lock looped through a bracket at the hitch, when leaving unattended. That's a secure fix for me.

No, you can just go to the hardware store and get a snap like on the end of a dog leash. There are several other options that will work and dont require using the lock.

I think that if you remove the cotter pin, you could string a wire through it. It is probably too small a hole for a chain. And it does weigh almost 7 pounds empty.
