You can either buy a Twist drill of the correct size to give clearance for your bolt or use the Drills they use for Pop rivits.
You would need to cut a piece of wood or similar to fit inside the box with the lid closed to give support to the metal while drilling.
If its a domed roof on the box put a bit of wood under the dome to give the same result.
You may have to put a pop mark in the Top where you wish to drill to stop the drill running off,either use a centre punch or nail.
