Cool. I'll save this one for a springtime mod.

 

Good thing you didnt have anything in there.
This would have provided a lot more security:

 

Maybe, if it was available:

Great write up, thanks.

 

Coastalreb,

Sorry to hear that happened and glad nothing was actually taken. What happened to you is exactly what I knew would happen eventually. So I came up with a more secure alternative that is a little more expensive than the DIY, but much less than the Tuffy Box. You will not be flexing my locking storage doors, I can promise you that. Check out my link to get the details and since you've already spent a few bucks on the DIY setup and obviously learned it is not all that secure, I will offer 10% off on your sale if you'd like. If you want to place the order, shoot me a PM so I can generate a one time use 10% off coupon.

Thx for the diy

 

Just finished up on this mod. Thanks for the write up!

 

Great Idea and write up. Now I have another mod to add to my growing to do list.

 

Thanks for the write up and the nice pictures showing what is needed and what is not!

 

@AR15xAR10, this is the thread that I used

 

Word

 

Tuffy's is available. Quite a bit more money than just DIY'ing a couple of locks on, but also a complete lock box.

@floridaoccifer great mod I did it today purchased identical locks at Lowes same key on all three locks thanks for sharing

 

Great write up.....Sub'd for later

 

Works great, thanks! Not so worried about keeping valuables in those cubbies, but the doors themselves must be expensive. This will help keep them from being easily removed.

Edit: someone could make some money making metal doors to replace the plastic ones!
