A raccoon visited the box I keep in the garden and made a mess inside. To prevent future visits, I made two hasp pieces, so I can lock the box with padlock.

While the parts are specific to the SS900 box from Suncast (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Suncast-Wicker-22-Gal-Resin-Storage-Deck-Box-SSW900/206288443), Suncast makes variations of this box with different-looking lids, so it is possible that the hasp parts will fit other boxes as well.

I used this combination padlock (raccoons cannot open combination locks, yet :-)): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07VKRQYZF, but any similar outdoor padlock should work.

To install the hasp part on the box, a 7 x 20 mm slit has to be made in the box and part of the inside support ridge should be cut, so the hasp can be fully inserted any lay flat. 

Holes for the bolts in both the lid and the box are also required.

I used #8 3/8" steel bolts and nuts, which I had at hand, but it would be best if bronze or stainless steel bolts and nuts are used, so they don't rust.

[Update 20231028] Added v2.0 (with the orange part) which has an additional hook on the inside of the box to hang the padlock when the box is opened. I printed it in orange PETG, so it is clearly visible even when it is dark outside.

Note: The v.2.0 files contain both the original and the new version.
