Husky Build-Out Mount
Description
Organize and secure your Husky Build-Out modular toolboxes with a purpose-built mounting plate from BOCO Custom. Laser-cut from American steel in non-locking (light-duty) or locking (medium-duty) versions, these ultra-low-profile plates provide reliable, space-efficient mounting for garages, shops, service vehicles, and job sites. Ditch unstable hooks or cheap plastic alternatives—upgrade to handcrafted steel designed for real trades use.
Why you’ll love it
- Precision fit: Tailored for Husky Build-Out systems — Non-Locking fits boxes with red clip-in latches/handles only; Locking fits all boxes with secure one-handed mechanism.
- Built to last: Choose 14-gauge steel (Non-Locking, light-duty for everyday use) or 12-gauge steel (Locking, medium-duty for heavier abuse and reliability).
- Ultra-low profile: Only 0.5" height maximizes clearance, keeps tools accessible, and optimizes tight spaces like vans or under shelves.
- Custom finish options: Raw steel for DIY customization or powder coat (textured black standard) for superior chip/rust resistance — match your workspace or rig.

Installation notes
- Position plate on wall, plywood, metal surface, or vehicle at desired height and mark mounting holes (16" spacing aligns easily with studs).
- Use appropriate fasteners for your surface (lag screws into studs/plywood, heavy-duty anchors for drywall, self-tapping screws for metal/vans).
- Install level and secure tightly — slide the Husky Build-Out box into place, engage latches (or lock on locking version), and verify secure fit with no rattle.
- For multiple plates or stacked setups, measure spacing based on your specific box footprint and load.
- Raw steel? Apply rust protection or paint promptly if exposed to moisture/humidity (mild steel rusts quickly outdoors or in damp areas); powder coat is ready for job-site, vehicle, or outdoor use.
- Locking version: When open, allows easy box lift-out; closed, provides solid security (padlock compatible).
Perfect for
Garages, workshops, service vans, enclosed trailers, professional tradespeople, DIY enthusiasts, and efficient Husky Build-Out tool organization on the go or at the shop.
Warranty & Care
Powder-coated finish resists rust, chips, scratches, and fading for long-term durability in tough environments. Raw steel is ideal for custom finishes but should be protected from moisture/humidity to prevent rust. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Contact BOCO Custom for manufacturing warranty details, bulk orders, or custom requests.
Finish Types
Raw Steel: Ships as bare metal—affordable, no added finish cost, and quickest to produce/ship. Ideal if you plan to paint it yourself, weld it further, or want a custom look (e.g., intentional patina or rattle-can paint). Note: Mild steel rusts quickly when exposed to moisture/humidity—store indoors and apply protection soon if used outdoors or in damp garages. Great for budget builds or immediate DIY finishing.
Powder Coat: A baked-on, professional-grade finish (textured black standard). Much tougher than regular paint—resists chips, scratches, fading, and rust far better. Provides excellent protection for job-site, vehicle, or outdoor use (like tool mounts in vans or garages). Adds a small upcharge but delivers a premium, long-lasting look with minimal maintenance. Powder coat also helps hardware stay functional longer by reducing wear.
Metal Thickness
How do I choose the right gauge for my project?
- Choose thicker gauges (10 or 11) for heavy-duty strength, structural parts, or high-load applications. Example: Using the plate on a horizontal application such floor or dolly.
- Choose thinner gauges (14) for lighter-weight parts, panels, or where cost matters more. Ideal for vertical applications suck as wall or bedside mount.
Why does gauge go backward (lower number = thicker)?
The gauge system originated from the number of draws needed to produce wire/sheet of that thickness. Fewer draws = thicker material = lower gauge number.
