Lockable/Padlockable box to store documents
Hi I need to keep some stuff stored safely:
- a few A4 documents
- passport
- some medical documents incl. psychiatrist reports
-- nothing VALUABLE. Just private. So nothing I would want my cleaner or partner to see.
Where can I buy a small(ish) metal box? with a lock? Preferably a padlock (i have a combination padlock - less hassle than keys)

Your local locksmith will have lots, try Yellow Pages for Locksmiths
Rymans, Staples, etc. Or any office equipment supplier.
Be warned that not all A4 document boxes will actually hold a flat sheet of A4. A couple of years ago I bought a fireproof document box that called itself A4, but had to return it as it was about 5mm undersize and no good for what I wanted. If the size is critical for your purposes, make sure you measure it.
How about a fire safe, given that the contents might be hard to get=20 duplicates of ?
Costs of around =A330 upwards are typical
