caedmyn Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm looking for some sort of box that locks for my 10 yo to keep her special things in, away from her brothers. The box she's currently using is about 14"x8"x9". Trying to find something reasonably inexpensive that size or a little bigger. A combination lock instead of a key lock would be a bonus as my boys are very good at finding the keys to things they aren't supposed to get into. I've looked at medicine chests (too small) and footlockers (too big). What other categories of boxes could I look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigs Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Tool box or cash box, you might find one you can add a lock to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt. Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 A plastic "file box" with a loop for a lock, and a combo style luggage lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Under the bed foot locker, giving her extra storage for the future. Piece of second hand locking luggage. Even some kids luggage is lockable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I was going to say luggage with a lock. Many are getting rid of the heavier suitcases in favor of the lighter ones, so someone you know may have one to give away. Bonus, she could decorate it with cool bumper stickers or something and keep it under her bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Bunny Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Like others have said, toolboxes, filing cabinets. Get a combination padlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxinsox Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We have a black tote from Wal-Mart that has openings for padlocks. We use it for storage of Christmas and birthday presents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I would look for something that can both be locked and attached to a fixed object in her room. That way the locked box cannot be carried away by curious siblings. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) You could give her a larger box but put it on a high shelf in her closet. Edited October 2, 2016 by OhElizabeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Anyone in the family do any woodworking? My DS's inherited a very simple, handmade wooden box with a tiny paddle lock and key. They LOVE it and are in/out of it daily locking up their treasures. :) If you don't know anyone, perhaps Etsy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
