With a built-in combination lock. I don’t really need a gun safe–this is for medicines, household chemicals, etc., but I need something around those dimensions, with shelves. I really don’t want one with a key since I’ll have to access it 5+ times per day. I need to do some streamlined childproofing, and since I am renting my house, I don’t want to modify an existing cabinet. Anyway, my google-fu is bad right now…so any help would be appreciated. Under $300 would be great…I may end up wanting one for upstairs too.

Ethilrist: you need to re-read: that is for one shelf only. The whole cabinet seems to be $304.99 (click on the little triangle).

Fine… OP didn’t say how big it needed to be.

$225, then.

He did say that it needed to be a combination lock and not a key…😛

OP. Just Google locking cabinet or locking storage cabinet. Everything from basic painted metal to nice wood.

It’s also possible to convert some keyed cabinets to [programable combination locks.](http://www.sdcsecurity.com/295-Programmable-Cabinet-Lock.htm)
