I need something to store my DIY kit, as this contains toxic elements, I need something that will lock to keep small children out. Would this work wel

It depends on how young and how clever. It is a good latch but isn't a true lock. I would still recommended keeping the box put of reach to avoid temptation or getting a box that will lock with a key or padlock

The purpose is so that they will not open but keep in mind these are stuck down, not screwed down and I imagine with some strength and wiggling around these could come off. They work perfectly to not let my kids open the windows and I have a hard time opening them past. But if you are looking to prevent an intruder I would recommend something that is more permanent.

Yes as long as they wouldn't be able to slid it off. Think of this lock like a zip tie. Say if you put a zip tie around a pencil if you worked at it you could slide it off. If you could put it around the safe and then through something else that was secured like a permanent fixture. Hope this helps

If you are very careful yes. If there's a bad guy in the house and I need it out fast, then no. I was disappointed with this safe. It's great to keep little hands off your weapons but any Joe with a prybar can breach it. Save your money and buy something heavier.

I don't see why it would not work that way but it could be used on the sides also. You could even leave it open during the night depending if you have small children or not. What ever works best for you. The best safe I have found and I use mine in my car.

This is a light duty lock intended for display cabinets, etc. You should get something stronger for your storage bins.

I don't see how it's not child proof. It has all sorts of locks. Kept my kids out. Pretty sure it would be fine.

Yes, it keeps rodents out. The lid screws on, so there's no way anything can get in. There are small holes on the side which allows small insects to get in that help with the decomposition of the material that is in the bin. this is very easy to use. It is on a base with a roller, so it's very easy to turn it no matter how much you have inside.

All I can say is the door should close tight, in order to be fire proof. If loose heat would buid inside enough to start burning inside. My door close very tight. You should be ok for theft, against minor theives. These will not keep out an expert safe person. Like mine for what it is, it will work fine for what I use it for. Also keep important papers, etc in bank safe deposit box.

The box itself doesn't have a lock but it comes ready for use with a padlock. Even then, if an adult wanted to get in, it would be easy enough given it's plastic construction. I do like using a padlock to keep small kids out and to prevent the wind accidentally blowing it open. The padlock I got for it is the: Sesamee KCR0436 Chrome Plated Marine Padlock, from Amazon. Great outdoor lock.

From what I read it should be kept out of the elements. I placed it inside the home away from pets , food, and people.

I don't know what a safety-type lid is. I don't think it slams shut. I think it has some sort of hinges that stop it from doing that. But it definitely doesn't fasten. You could use it for a toy chest or anything. But if you wanted it not to be opened by toddlers when they're by themselves, then this wouldn't be the thing. Starting from ages 2-3 they're probably able to get into it by themselves. I'm not sure there'd be an easy way to fasten it or keep it closed either, other than putting something heavy on top of it. But that would probably defeat the purpose.

I would suggest you get ahold of the company in Elkhart, in. I could see you using two doors side by side with two kits, but I don't know what kind of hardware would be used to hold the doors closed and locked.

It would be good for small toy storage only. Legos, small stuffed animals, matchbox cars, card games. puzzles, things of that nature.

I don't think it is strong enough or a lock. It is a thin divider but it was what I needed. I simply wanted to lose a room off from a cat. You would be better to get a heavy duty divider. This stays closed by magnets. A good sturdy door has a built in lock.

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

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.
