Default Gun cabinet

Where are the locks? Or am I just blind (still). It looks real good.
Happy Hunting.

The glass was 1/4", and added a great weight and sense of quality to the
doors.

The wood is cherry and the coating is tung oil. There's really nothing
unique about the gun cabinet with the exception of the back of the upper
part. That's 1/4" solid cherry, rather than a plywood. Where the
cabinet touches a long gun, there is a partially inlaid leather insert
as well. The drawers in the lower cabinet are lined with green wool
felt and are used for storing ammunition, handguns and the inevitable
spare parts.
