Lockable wardrobe - with drawers/shelves?

Infidel

Hi. Posting this here on the off chance.

I'm looking to find a wardrobe that has key locks on the doors. Already trawled through many internet pages after an initial search (doesn't seem to add the part about the lock/lockable and other keywords) without much luck.

Also needs to have some shelves inside. A drawer would also be a good feature - though not 100% necessary if there are a good amount of shelves inside. 2-3 door - prefer a tall one over width if possible (just to save space) as have got a ceiling around half a metre above normal door height.

Anyway, hopefully I'll have some luck here.

Out of stock at the moment, but might give you some clues as to the make to look out for

Phone charity shops & ask if they have branches with furniture, or furniture days - quite a lot of the more elderly wardrobes had locks, and have a few shelves for pyjamas etc.

Plus they're often big & awkward to stock so sell for pennies relative to new furniture, as well as being properly built of nice wood that repays a bit of TLC (I'm leaping to the idea that sanding & oiling or revarnishing are reasonable, given the amount you'll save). Replacement locks are not hard to come by if there aren't keys, but if you unscrew the lock & take it to a locksmith they can usually find a 'stray' key that fits & sort you copies.
Best of luck!

Just buy the wardrobe you want and get a handyman / carpenter to fit a lock. Very straightforward.

Yeah, the one I'm replacing is actually from the 1980's.

Finding it difficult to find one as well made and useful.

This actually looks like more or less what I'm looking for. If only I could find ones that are actually in stock/exist.

Still searching . . . . .

Has anyone actually got one of these? I just need to know what I'm looking for actually exists.

phill99 has already told you the best way to get this sorted.

Just buy a wardrobe and get a joiner to put a lock in it for you.

Will be a lot cheaper than buying something bespoke.

just google lockable filing cupboard/ office furniture.

The reason I send you the link from that used one is that I got one exactly the same in the office. They are solid.

Seems like a more expensive way to do it, paying extra for a joiner.
Also, Time is an issue.

And also the last joiner said "the door was too thin to put a lock on".
