where do the screws go for the mounting, and how secure is it when mounted? i want to make sure someone cannot steal the whole box.

You unlock the box and the screws go through the back of the box into whatever you're mounting to. It will be as secure as the strength of the screws or the substrate, whichever is weakest.

The screws that came with the unit were poor. I was putting them in with my elect drill and they stripped out as soon as they hit 2x4. SO, I took the screw out and used 2.5" drywall screws in all 4 corners, that little sucker is NOT moving in my lifetime!!!

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.

Screws are in side the box all four corners. My husband may have used different stews because we placed it in on railroad tides that are extremely thick and heavy. Once mounted this thing is not moving.

There should be a big plastic bag with all the screws taped to a piece of wood as I recall. If it's not there you should have them swap it out or send the bag

I mounted mine to an octagon box. Anyone at Home Depot could help you out with this.

My husband didn't use the screws and bolts that came with it. He had to use some from his tool box to make it more secure

yes there r holes in the back I used to mount it to a tree. I used screws and washers although lag bolts will work, and I locked it up in the front. One would think that would be good enough of a deterrent to lowlife thieves but if they want it bad enough they will probably bring a chainsaw and cut the tree down to steel stuff. but mine is still safe and sound and taking pics.

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.

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

Use the screws. Drills easily enough and won't come off. The clips will work. Just don't trust them.

It installs by hooking keyhole slots over screw heads, so no, without special effort on your part it is not particularly theft proof. In my case the unit is mounted about 10 feet above the ground; it triggers over a range of 10-12 horizontal feet for me, which was about what I was hoping for.

The intent of the security box is to discourage theft (lag bolt to tree) and protect from the elements. If an angle mount needed to be used, it probably could be modified by simply drilling some mounting holes in the box.

It's designed to mount with two screws. There's a plastic cover that pops off and reveals a metal plate with screw holes. It's a nice flat surface so I suppose it could be attached with a very good adhesive, but wouldn't probably trust that. It ships with the screws.

I'm not sure I understand how you want to mount the safe but the pre-drilled holes are on the bottom. You can drill through the back of the safe without a lot of difficulty. I drilled two holes in mine in order to loop a very small cable through the back and then secured to the cable to another piece of furniture so if you steal my safe you have to take the bed with it. If you are thinking of mounting this on a wall with the door sticking straight out it may be possible but the weight of the safe may damage your wall. Keep in mind that the door is spring loaded too so opening and closing the door may eventually cause the screws/bolts to come loose. Hope this helps.

This is a bad answer, but "not the number I bought". I have four unopened boxes in my garage because I could not understand what goes with what. I'm happy with the mounts but I paid WAAAY too much for not being able to answer your question. One possible answer is "none", but don't quote me.

put it inside the fence, use padlocks in addition to / instead of the bolts, use security nuts & bolts (require special tools - normal hex won't fit), tack weld the nuts to the bolts (makes it tough for you to remove them too, though), add a security camera (even a decoy camera might discourage a petty thief)

The way I would prevent the T.V. from being stolen would be to get a cable, with a diameter smaller than the pin holes of the ceiling mount and of the mounting holes of the T.V. bracket feed it though the mount pin hole and the mount in the T.V. bracket crimp two loops in each end of the cable (crimps are available at hardware store you get the cable from) and padlock the loops tightly to the hole on the mount and the T.V. bracket, they won't be able to steal the T.V. without destroying it or by removing the bolts you used to mount the T.V. to the bracket. They'll be back! Good luck.

In my experience of using the ShelfLinks I would not say they would be secure without using screws to hold all the upright and horizontal 2x4's in place. Especially when you are taking items on and off the shelves...I even secured the bases to the floor so that the base would stay as secure as possible.
