Smart tips needed!

I'm planning to install an IKEA LILLÅNGEN cabinet in the laundry room. All good so far. However, it's tall and could tip over, so it needs to be secured to the wall.
Here's where it gets tricky. Behind the only possible placement for the cabinet is the water meter. Therefore, the cabinet needs to be able to move out a couple of times a year.

Is there any kind of latch model similar to IKEA's "anti-tip" brackets that can be hooked in and out? It doesn't feel great to screw in and out of the wall several times a year...
 
One or two like this with wing nut?
 
  • A metal threaded screw with dual threading, one side coarse and the other fine, commonly used with a wing nut.

I imagine you could use IKEA's standard angle brackets, but instead of using regular screws in the wall, you attach a skruvstift so that you get an M-thread. Then you can secure the cabinet with a washer and wing nut, and you can simply loosen the wing nut when the cabinet needs to be lifted off.

Edit: Damn, I wrote too slowly, so I was second on the ball :P

Aah! Smart - that's possible to do!

Nice, avoids a cabinet that moves when pulling out full laundry baskets but is still movable for the times when you need to get behind it and tinker.

thanks!!
