We have fabricators on here posting their lunch so as a lunch consumer I am posting some fabrication. Aluminum plate with a barrel lock I made to lock 2 Packouts together. Not a super simple process; I don’t have any “proof of concepts” or CAD diagrams but I did have to remove the black plastic tab from the Packout box and remove some material from the back so the locking tabs can slide in behind it. I could not find these sold Anywhere at all so if someone is aware of some for sale I don’t really want to make another one lol.

That is a brilliant idea that could easily be done with combo locks, magnet keys etc. You should really press on and turn this into a product to sell. Bet you would be buried in sales or bought out by Milwaukee

Yes thank you but some hurdles to overcome. I would have to source the back plastic tabs that come with the boxes (and modify them). Not easily available. Otherwise it would just be a DIY deal where the end user made the mod to the tabs themselves and I provide everything else.
