Is there some type of a latch. Not a lock. I'm afraid if someone pulls it off the shelf that the contents will spill out. Thanks everyone.

No latch - but it really looks like a book and needs to be handled like a book.. However don't over load the book.

the actual safe has a key and can't just open if locked. There is no latch on the books itself but they don't just open up. I tried it and it doesn't just spill out if locked. Hope this helps you.

There is no latch in this version. Although you can get smaller books with latches or locks.In this case, it is just an easy to remove lid which would definitely spill its contents if pulled out of a shelf vertically. But for the storage space, nothing can beat it.Just use some of that silver tape and ypu should be good. Or check out smaller ones that have locks.

Does your cat open the cabinet door? My dogs figured it out and pulled the bag out. I finally hung it higher on the drawer. No the lid does not lock

It closes but it does not lock. I did not have any need for a lock. It is big and roomy, holds magazines with no problem, if you need size. Overall, i am very pleased with it.

It does not have a lock. I put my silver in a safe deposit box at the bank when I am extended trips. I don't think a lock would stop someone who wanted to steal the silver since the cabinet is not very heavy and can easily be taken. I think it is more for convenience than security. It is not particularly well made. The first one I ordered arrived broken. I returned it and the second was in one piece but is not very sturdy. Still, it looks good in the dining room.

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

No it doesn't come with a shelf. The instructions recommend that you bolt it to a shelf. But that's not what should be concerned about. Personally I wouldn't buy this safe. Somebody broke into my safe by just prying the door open. And it didn't look like it took much effort.

There was no lock on mine. One disappointment I had with file drawer is that once I put files in it, a few days later it stopped closing completely. Feels like it's off track, but if I lift it up higher it will close. Very inconvenient if you use the drawer daily so mine now remains open about 2-3 inches. Other than that, I love the desk.

I have owned this chest for about 10 months and we mainly store linens in it so we don't open or close it much, but it stays open when we do open it. It hasn't slammed shut on us yet. That said I would search for something with some sort of safety latches for her.

Yes, it does lock in order to support the equipment, in my case, I have a vcr mounted on it. I just wanted a simple functional hide-away shelf. This fits the bill.

There is no latch. The top just closes down on the unit. It opens about a little past 90 degrees.

I just recieved this item and the shelves can NOT be flipped, I wish it were that simple as I too wanted to place a microwave on top.. but you cant the lip blocks the door from opening.I was hoping to just "flip the shelf.. but the design does not allow for this...very upset as one of the people here wrote that it could be flipped.

There is no latch on the box. It is of delicate construction it could be added but very carefully.

There is a tan colored slide lock on both lids. Slide it towards the outside. o me the lock is a waste of time it stays closed without it. The you grab the center wavy plastic part of the lid and turn it so the arrows line up then lift up. Sometimes it gets hard to open so I close it back then try again or try the other lid. If the arrows are lined up you may need to pry it up maybe the store glued it on or something.

Doesn't lock per say. The lid latches closed. You need to push a button soon too to open. Our daughter is 2 and doesn't have the power to push the button down yet. Aha actually doesn't even pay attention to the pail at all.

no latch, just slight tilt. It's well made and looks good. Solid wood and the only improvement I could recommend is the door has no stop as it opens all the way to the countertop. I would still say its a buy.
