Since it doesn't have a lock, do you have to be mindful of the weight of your items? Wondering if it will come open if dropped on floor?

Yes, this book will definitely open if dropped on the floor, but that doesn't guarantee that the contents will spill out since the hidden pocket has a cover that you have to actually pull out. To me this item is best suited for hiding either paper items or items that are not that heavy. The compartment isn't deep, it is a shallow, thin compartment.

Could Possibily come open but I have it with other books that are rarely looked at. I really like it.

I dropped mine several times, and nothing happened to it, or the items within it and most importantly it didn't crack open upon the impact. I hope that answered your question.

It is heavy but can be carried by one person. I would bolt it or not use at all as a safe.

I have one and love it. Very sturdy. But no you can't lock it unless you put chains around it. Otherwise there is no mechanism to lock it.

I tried it and it stayed shut. you have to push the button for it to open. if it falls on the button, rom a good height it might open. I think its pretty safe though

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

No there isn't a lock to keep it open. However, when moving it you may simply hold the bar side that slides in place so it won't close.

I have found no way to lock it. But its not a deal breaker. I loved it so much I bought another one and I may buy a third one.

Yes. There is a latch to keep it closed. It's a little awkward to carry, but it can be done. I am careful not to scoot it when it's in the ladder position because that's the top of the chair when it's closed. I really like mine.

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

Mine doesnt, I can move the whole thing to another part of the living room (which isn't easy but doable) but I have yet to have it budge when feet are on it anywhere! I think you are safe. I love mine by the way!

It has a ledge that it ia suspended from. This is really great because you completely remove the door when loading or unloading the machine. It is secure when placed on the ledge. Mine has never fallen off or been dislodged when bumped or mOved. Hope this helps!

No locks. It stays put fairly well on low nap carpet, but, on a hard surface floor it may be less stable...

Yes it does. It stays up when opened and does not slam down at all unless pushed down. Too of it is very light anyway so it has to be pushed closed.

If it falls on the floor. If you turn it up side down then yeah it will probably will happen. But I have not done that.

No. Its not necessarily a lock. Its a piece of plastic that slides to the middle to stop the door from opening. There is a (maybe) 6 inches piece of plastic that hangs down on one side to make it easier to slide it. Depending on how tall you are if you could reach close to the top to slide it then you will be fine.

When we got ours we were afraid to break it but it just pulls open... Ours was really stiff but it opens without breaking lol

It does not lock, but it fits in pretty snugly and with the water in it it's pretty heavy, so I don't think you'll have a problem. We haven't at least. I also keep ours up on the dresser out of reach.
