Abstract

A box and mounting plate in which the same lock is used to lock the box and secure it to the mounting plate by holding a lip of one section of the mounting plate beneath the box cover. The box can be released from the mounting plate by unlocking it and removing the mounting plate lip. Once the box is released from the mounting plate, it may be converted to a portable security box. Fabrication is simplified by requiring most sheet metal components to have only one simple bend.
