<p>For either machine securely attach them to the surface they are sitting on. Bolt to the counter in a manner that can not be disassembled without opening the machine. For flow mounted machines secure to a concrete floor with large anchor bolts into the floor.</p>

The page you linked to says "Internal steel vault is securely bolted to wall, stand, or countertop". Is that what you're looking for?

That's getting there, yes! A picture showing the bolting would be useful.

I am considering buying a [Lamassu](http://lamassu.is) Bitcoin ATM machine.

The small machine is apparently "grab resistant". Does anyone know how the grab resistant mechanism works? Are there hooks on the back?

For either machine securely attach them to the surface they are sitting on. Bolt to the counter in a manner that can not be disassembled without opening the machine. For flow mounted machines secure to a concrete floor with large anchor bolts into the floor.
