I've searched for and read a LOT on here about using Apache or Pelican or similar ABS cases.
My question is whether or not anyone has tried putting a lock on these?
From pictures I've seen, it APPEARS that when closed, the lid overlaps the base section at the corners, and MAYBE (??) there's room to drill a large enough hole through those corner ears of the lid, and through the base corner section - allowing someone to put a padlock through it?
Maybe that overlap is smaller in person than the pictures make it appear...?
Interested to hear what you long-time Apache case owners might think. I may run over to harbor freight and see on in person. If I go that route and am able to make a lock work, I'll post some pictures if anyone is interested.
If anyone has any better ideas for locking a case such as these, please advise...! I am only looking for a lock that would keep an opportunistic thief out - not for one that might otherwise stop a determined safecracker...!
Thanks!
