I like it. Nice way to keep people from unplugging something that
shouldn't be. Once you put the cover on no one would suspect it was
there

What I was thinking, too...and mounting the handy box inside the larger
at 90 degrees does leave enough room for the plugs and the cover...looks
to me like probably they had to either thread the cord through and
reconnect at the business to use a molded, integral plug though??? Not
enough conduit diameter to feed a plug thru, is there???

Yeah, my thoughts too that you would still have to wire in a
plug/cable. A larger entryway would be better, big enough to fish a
plug through.

Just something I hadn't seen before and probably wouldn't
have thought up myself. Filed away in my head now in case one day it
might be useful ;-)

I checked the rest of the pics from that weird setup and it makes a bit
more sense now with some context.

The unused electrical box below was probably for an alarm or access system
for a bank vault. It's possible they had to secure the power plug, but
would/could not allow third party people to hardwire stuff into the
building. Keycard/door systems and even phone PBXs that mount on those
plywood boards sometimes seem to be configured where everything looks
permanent but it's all running off a dedicated outlet you can just unplug.
