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)

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
duplicates of ?

Costs of around £30 upwards are typical
