Need a large lockable box to stop my stuff from being nicked!

*Vikki* · 1 February 2009 at 5:13PM

Help! I have been looking online for about an hour now, ebay the lot. I want a medium to large size box, under £30 that I can lock my stuff away in, so others in my house stop using it/taking it.

Have also tried finding a bedroom lock for my door but I can't find one

You would probably get more ideas if you give an idea of what you are actually locking away.... if its documents ~ you can buy a nice metal cabinet in Mr T's for around £15, I believe this already has a lock. Or why not combine 2 items ~ a small suitcase (the size you can take on an aeroplane) then buy a couple of combination locks~ probably not the ones that come with it, they can be easily cracked!
Hope this helps...

Oh sorry its to put away a mixture of stuff, food, so tins of soup, weetabix boxes, ghd's, money, squash stuff like that.

Might it be cheaper to get new housemates?! :eek:

Joking aside though you should be able to get a lock from the likes of B&Q. And I think the suitcase with a lock is a good idea.

You need a Tuck box like they use at boarding school. CLICK HERE You just put padlocks on them.

These can be found cheaper. I will have a look for you.

www.storagetrunks.co.ukl Slightly cheaper, with free postage.

With these if you buy the plywood one you can decorate it yourself.

Any hardware shop would have a lock you could put on your door.
