FAQ

How do I secure my Porch Pirate Lock Box to my concrete, wood or Trex (composite) porch?

We provide screws and large washers with every order to mount your box to concrete (blue screws), wood (gold screws) and Trex (composite)(gold screws) porches. For wood or Tex (composite) porches, simply put the washers on the gold screws, locate the 2 holes on the bottom of your box and screw the screws down thru the holes. You can add silicon or liquid nails to the bottom of the box before you screw it down to make it more secure. Also, there’s 2 holes on the back panel that allow you to screw the box to your house, use the gold screws with the washers provided to mount the box this way. It is recommended to mount your box utilizing these 3 methods. O concrete porches, go to Home Depot and find a 5/32nd concrete drill and if you don’t have a hammer dill rent one from Home Depot. Mark your holes on the bottom of the box with a marker, move your box aside and drill your holes where you marked them. When finished drilling your holes locate the blue screws , put the washers on them and screw then into the concrete. We also recommend putting Liquid Nails or silicon to the bottom of the box before screwing it down and screwing the back to the house. You can also hire a handyman to mount it. If local we can send someone out for a small charge.

No, All of the businesses that are delivering packages are taking pictures of their deliveries sitting on your porch to prove that they got them there. When the new iPhone or iPad you ordered and had delivered are stolen it’s on you to replace them.
