Locking Container

I bought this solely for my medication and unfortunately I have a roommate in my house that has sticky fingers. I've been super paranoid about him taking my medication or just taking a couple as it is high risk for being stolen. I got really tired of carrying my purse around with me everywhere in my own home and having a straight up heart attack when I accidentally left it in a room where he had a chance to take it. If any of my medication is stolen I cannot function. I am confident this is the answer to my problem.If somebody finds this, they can get into it easily with a hammer. But if you have a problem with pilfering or fear of, this might be a good option. I have tested the locking mechanism and I can't get into it without the actual key. I would need a few hours to pop it open with no evidence left. I've included photos of the pins inside and the way the key has different depth of notches... So you know if someone happens to try to put the end of a pen into it to unlock (its wider than most pens anyways) it will not unlock because some of the pins aren't even pushed down, and some are halfway.If you are worried about a person being able to open it if they just buy one of these sets of keys my honest guess is to say that they are manufactured the same considering the price. I will be buying another one of these and I will test that out and update when I do. But I would assume that they are all the same keys.This is not a magic safe. If someone is intent on getting into they will. I think even if you go with the stainless steel option they can still get in (I'm sure its even more difficult with stainless steel.) It just depends on your situation. If you have a situation like mine where you know they wont take it if there is evidence, it will keep them honest.I like that this is a black bottle as well so it is hard to see instead of a bright orange medication bottle. The plastic is thick and I'm confident you would need to smash it to get it open.I noticed a review saying that the tabs didn't work and you could just twist it open when its locked if you press down hard enough... I have tested this and my theory is they either had a defective bottle or they did not place the cap on correctly. It took me a while to understand how to lock and unlock it. And you can actually put the cap on in the wrong place and also turn the key. It doesnt actually lock but the cap stays in place so you think its good. To lock and unlock it there is a line on the cap that you line up with one on the bottle. It took me a few minutes before a figure that out and I was about to be mad about it like it wasn't working... Because it is a little confusing before you get the hang of it. Because when you unlock it to open it up you twist the cap and then the lines are not together anymore. So you cant just stick the keys back in to lock it even if you didn't even remove the cap. You have to lift the cap off (because you can't twist it back) and realign it.These is perfect for my situation and I'm very happy with it

It was difficult to open the first time, but after a few opens/closes it smoothed out.Has a nice rubber O-ring that fits very tight (will wear in nicely).It has a disc-like thingy that is blocked/unblocked which acts as a lock/unlock.Pretty standard looking 7 pin tubular lock. Should also be fun for locksport (tubular lock pick).This thing is heavy and attracts attention. It looks like a pipe with a weird cap on the end. If you take this through an airport you WILL be stopped and asked to open (or they might just freak out). Probably leave this at home. Same with any type of security checkpoint: this is so cool/weird looking that EVERYONE will want to see what is inside of it (police/security/TSA/bomb squad/other people in line panicking).Basically it looks like a pipe bomb. It's good for locking up pills to keep away from bad grandchildren. Travelling with it, or even having it in your car WILL cause you issues.It has a very open keyway track that the pins are in. Fun to pick.Very good quality. Very tight fit on the lid.The actually tubular lock is loose in the lid, but that doesn't affect function.No, this is NOT waterproof (water would go in through/around the tubular lock) but it does have an o-ring that makes the cap fit tightly.Again, do NOT try to bring this on a plane. You will make the newspapers: "Crazy guy tries to hide drugs in a fake pipe bomb and sneak it on a plane. He was later released after missing his flight."

I had trouble closing it at times. It's difficult to line up the lugs that lock it. I ordered a larger unit, so I'm not sure if it was me or the item or both. Opening it is a breeze. Closing them takes a bit of luck and practice. It holds quite a bit.

This product has proven very useful as i have a real bad back injury, and with the lil ones in the house. you can never be to safe but trust me when I tell you the size stregenth and durability of this product is second to none. And it fits in your pocket, shaving bag or carry on, and you can sleep well knowing there is no chance of losing your valuables, and your family is safe from accidents.

Awesome for hiding money or meds!
