Everyone has files they need to keep organized and secure and don’t want just being left out for little hands to get a hold of. Master Lock has a document storage box exactly for this purpose! It is small in size being 6” x 13.5” x 10.5”. It holds Letter sized hanging files. It comes with a lock and two keys. It is made with a durable steel construction which is supposed to withstand daily use. We have had it in our home for a bit now and use it regularly. We like that it is lightweight but find that it can be easily dented. We also found that the handle didn’t seem to be on very securely. Normally the storage box wouldn’t be hauled around many places so it would be ok. But if you are a person who would be moving it constantly I could see this becoming an issue.
To make it work best for us we put our paperwork in it that we use regularly or will need again soon. Things like our bills to be paid soon or paperwork for upcoming kids activities. We find it is too small to hold everything we need but once we are done with the items in it and they won’t be needed for a while we move them to our other file cabinet which is able to hold more paperwork.
We like that is easy to transport so I can leave it put away in our bedroom where we don’t have to worry about the children playing with it, but can easily pull it out and move it to wherever we need it. Usually I am doing paperwork in the kitchen in the evening once the kids go to bed. I like that I can grab it and go and not have to worry about something big and heavy.
For us we will be looking for something a bit more durable. But I think this would be a great item for a person just starting out with filing who wants something lightweight and portable. It’s listed on the website for $21.09 and I feel that it is a great price for this product!

everyone absolutely needs something like this to store important docs
This is just what I need to store my important documents. I can’t have them all over the place!
We really do need this for our important papers. Thanks for the review!
Great review! What a great way to lock up important personal papers. I think it’s time we get one of these.
there ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT PAPERS THAT YOU NEED TO KEEP SAFE AND LOCKED UP, WHY NOT USE A MASTERLOCK 7148D TO DO IT
I have used these several times over the years and find that they work great. Love the portability since I don’t have a home office space.
I totally need something like this. I am so disorganized. This would be so handy in helping me keep important documents sorted and safe
Great storage box, everybody could probably use one!
This would be great for my home. Our important documents are scattered.
This would be great for my home,the one I own is so raggy
