Might There Be A Pen Storage Box That Can Use A Lock?

[Icywolfe]

From all the cases I've seen you can't put a lock. Why a lock? I have parents who for some reason likes to drop my gold nibbed pens nib down... on the hardwood floor... Oh yes my Falcon/Elabo is busted. First it was my VP now my Elabo.....

I mean a box you can see the pens from the top almost like a display case. I actually don't care how ugly the box is as if it was a nice wooden box it will cost more than some of the pens. And when I meant for lock, I meant a locking latch as I have a lock in mind to use.... the ABUS diskus with the Plus core.

Also for home security too.... seriously the door to my house has only 4 pins and they are basically flat so very pickable. And that 4 pins is part of the Deadbolt. I can rake the deadbolt open....

A large wooden case with a glass insert at the lid should not be difficult at the local craft store.

Attaching a locking latch is easy. However, a visible display may be too tempting for people

who do not, at this time, respect your space.

 

Consider a steel cash box.

Yup, I'd put my pen storage box in a fire proof box. A place like WalMart has them for like $60. Should be room for some cash and a journal too.

My first pen box was had a glass insert in the top to see the pens and a key and internal lock that locked the lid down. I found another at a craft store that was glass topped and had a clasp that a lock could be attached to, I added the pen slots to the box. However if you are worried about someone coming in your house, a smallish locked box will just go under their arm and leave with them, thus losing all of your pens.

The suggestions for the fireproof box are on point; if your home security situation is that poor and you want a lockable box that, itself will be difficult to be stolen, here's what I would do, or just simply take your pens with you.

 

The two low cost models that come to mind that I would recommend to clients (I'm in the security industry) are The Club LB200 Personal Vault Security Lock Box or Master Lock 5900D. Both can be secured with cables included and the Master cable does not need be removed to move the box.

 

Long term, and if your collection grows, I would consider a floor mounted mini-safe, installed in a corner with complete floor anchoring.

 

Any glass top box can itself be stolen or easily pried open as you need welded or internal latches for the discus to properly work. Good luck!

Time to move out, methinks.

My valuable pens are kept in a safe.
