I have purchased a rather nice Craftsman Roll-Away tool cabinet with a
matching tool chest on top. Stands about as tall as me.

I want to put it in my garage, but I don't want some theifs to "roll it
away". I know it has keyed lockes, but how can I prevent someone from
rolling it into a truck?

Is there a way to temporarily lock/disable the caster wheels, allwoing
to
remain in one place? The obvious anser is to NOT install the wheels,
but
then I won't be able to move it either.

Ideas appreciated.





If you have the type of cabinets that has takeout drawers, take them out.
Put a chain around a stud, or make a plate that goes on the stud. Then put
a padlocking assembly in the back that is only accessible through the front
when the drawers are taken out. Do not make the chain long enough so
someone can pull it away from the wall to work on the chain. Put one on
each cabinet. If there is not enough room inside the cabinet for the
drawers to be put back after the locking assembly is in, put a plate on the
backside of the box and lock that to the stud. You may have to make an
access hole in the back of the toolbox.

Someone would be able to pull the thing off the stud with a truck, but, hey,
except for burying it in a concrete vault, you will have SOME risk.
