could you fit a lock on this? or is the latch just for novelties?

It is latch only...Great for collectibles, but not something I would use to secure priceless collectibles.

You could fit a tiny lock on it, but I would say the latch is more for novelties. It's not a strong latch, so you certainly wouldn't want any real valuables in it.

Yes..there are 2 areas to lock case...I bought master locks..they have small ones at home depot....tight fit but it works

I would say no! aesthetically its a nice conversation piece for the guests, but not at all rugged, mine broke within a couple months of use from regular "ragging up" and when I tried to contact the company for the warranty, it was futile. I resorted to fabricating my own latch with steel and installing it with a regular padlock. no school like old school!

technically no, but on one latch there is a loop where you could put a small pad lock

the latch has two positions built in, these are the standard sizes, if the latch is still too short the door was most likely drilled improperly, I have never seen one that deep, but you may be able to find a lock smith in your area that can find a solution.

Hi there - locks are not included with this model, those would need to be purchased as an accessory. Thanks!

Not readily, think about how it functions, and that it slides OVER and PAST the wall/door frame. One could be devised (have already thought about 3 different ways to do that) but it's not a part of the door slider design or function. You could readily design some sort of tongue and slot sort of latch, and attach a lock, or devise any number of latches that the door itself would connect to, but this door-slider system is only designed to manage the movement of the door, nothing else. We are using ours for light and privacy, but a latch is not part of our needs, courtesy takes care of that. If you decide to do something like a latch (again, would not be difficult, just have to look at your installation environment), don't forget to allow for emergency access to the room from the outside in case of some accident or sickness on the other side of the door.

How about a big enough lock to go around both sides of the handle? I don't have the box ....just wondering?

I have found no way to lock it. But its not a deal breaker. I loved it so much I bought another one and I may buy a third one.

Are you trying to keep something out of it or in it? There is no place to put a lock on it. It does latch closed so a young child would have a time getting it open.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and didn't check out the details. Don't know if it has a spot for a lock on it.

Yes, this latch does have a place for a bolt or lock to prevent it from opening.

Yes, it can be locked with a small padlock (I use a small combination lock on mine) on either or both of the metal clasps.

It does not have a latch nor does it have any catch or other mechanism. It is a sturdy lid that you could put a brick or other heavier object of you wanted to ensure it would stay shut. Otherwise I think you would be OK with this, unless you are trying to keep bears out or something. =)

Possibly, I am unsure of the bar width and how far it protrudes. That would be the deciding factor, I would think it would. You could measure it and send me the dimensions and I could measure the lock. cjdunton2@gmail.com

The 2 latches have a hole that will take a padlock. I've had 4 of these boxes for my different quads and I am sold on them. Very happy with mine.

No, it just latches. You can "set" it to remain unlatched with a hex key from the inside, but there is no typical key to lock the door.
