I dont have a lot of unused closet space in my house. I do have a large basement. I bought this to create locked storage for gifts ( Christmas Birthdays etc) that can my kiddos cant snoop through or accidently stumble across. (The garage gets too hot to stop any kind of electronics.) Its large and is easy to open.  I have a simple luggage lock on it, but it looks like there are two spots you could lock it. Its going to make life easier for years upon years. Highly recommend.
