My $90 Acquisition

[Kriilin]

So my local Office Depot was closing, and they were selling literally everything. I picked this up for $90. I wasn't sure if it would be useful, but preliminary experimentation made me regret I didn't buy the 2nd one they were selling.

It's awaiting it's final spot in my shop. I'll eventually paint it, the handles are fastened with bolts, no masking required. If you run across something like this, pick it up, they're all steel (sturdy), and they're actually a good size for small tools, cans, etc.

Kind of hard to pass that by for only 90 bucks. Certainly you will find a great use for it. Do the doors lock? It would be great for storing dangerous chemicals and such.

Looks really useful. I've seen those come up a couple times here and keep holding off. Im sold on one now but Im running out of room

Good score

Yup, they're your typical work room/ health club commercial lockers, so all the doors lock individually. I won't bother locking them because I don'y have kids, but I am planning on getting the hazardous and flammable stuff out of the house. It's not fireproof per se, but being all steel doesn't hurt. Just look for businesses going out of business, most places will have something like this in the employee area.
