I have a wall mounted switchable commando socket located on the external wall of my house.

I have a 5m Ohme smart cable and a simple 5m commando to commando lead.

I am looking for a secure/lockable way of storing these two cables outside, preferably coiled on a couple of hooks.

I understand that nothing is 100% secure but I am looking for something that might deter the opportunist.

Surely there must be a really obvious solution/product for this but can heck as like find one.

What do you guys use? (apart from putting the cables in your car/house/shed)

I was wanting to avoid a box if possible. I think I'm looking for something like this (but Type 2), but locks the gun into place:

Given the price of cables, maybe lock it to the wall using something like this:

Yes that will work won't it. I can feed the cables through that and the only way to remove them without a key will be to cut the cables.
