Thief Proof Laundry boxes

Luke S.
  • Midwest, IA
Posted

Morning Ladies/Gents,

This last month we have had a couple break ins in our laundry... We have a 'key style' box on most of our washing machines, and they seem to be inserting something in these and levering the heck out of them to break them loose...

We replaced a few boxes this month (for about $100 a piece) and they did the same again. It sucks more that we spend $100 a piece replacing boxes than it does that we are losing the cash in them...

Our driers they can't seem to break into with these 'half moon' style keys on those boxes. Our manager is looking at getting some of the 'circle key' boxes this week, and installing some cameras.

What type of locks have you found to work well on laundry boxes?

Thanks in advance,

Luke
