Wooden Boxes with Lock

Three families: (1) traditional brass tumbler locks with two keys, (2) combination locks with 3- or 4-digit dials, and (3) cam locks for sliding lids. Combination is the most popular for stash boxes (no key to lose); brass key is preferred for retail and gift-program use where the key is part of the unboxing experience.

Symbolic to moderate — they're packaging locks, not safe-grade. They keep curious hands and casual access out; they will not stop a determined attacker with tools. For documents or items needing real security, recommend buyers also use a home safe.

A key or combination lock does not by itself establish child resistance. Before using a box for regulated or adult-only contents, verify a test report for the exact box, lock and closure configuration against the standard required in the destination market. Do not describe a model as CPSC-tested, child-resistant or accepted by a state regulator without applicable evidence.

Combinations ship preset (usually to 000 or 123) and can be reset by the end user. We do not offer pre-set custom combinations because each lock needs to be individually configured — adds cost and quality risk. Key patterns can be unique-per-shipment, batch-keyed, or all-master-keyed depending on your program needs.

Key models ship with two keys to reduce loss risk; replacement keys are not field-cuttable. Combination models can be picked open with patience using a feeler method — we provide a recovery guide on request, but not generally to end consumers (defeats the purpose). For lost-key cases the simplest path is a small drill into the cam — destructive but works.
