Can someone recommend me a tack locker?

[kellybee]

My dad bought a tool box on ebay this weekend because it stated it was heavy duty pro quality. It arrived today and he said its basically not very sturdy and the metal isn't very thick but I can have it to store my saddles. If it won't keep his spanners safe I'm sure it's not going to keep my saddles safe, so I was wondering, do you guys have tack lockers and if they aren't too pricey could you recommend me one? The alternative is a bricked off corner in the barn with a steel plated door which tbh might be cheaper! Any suggestions?

I bought one from a well known online retailer a few years ago- it looked fab when it got here and I promptly installed it at the yard... only to discover that it's too narrow to actually get a saddle in...well, I could *just* squeeze my old mare's 17" saddle in, but not without 'squishing' the panels to get it in, and there is no way I'd even try to get my new lad's 17.5" (and slightly wider) saddle in- it would get scratched!

Said tack locker is now in the garage stuffed with old rugs and numnahs. I have to say, the tool box you have looks just as 'sturdy' and strong and nothing is 'thief' proof if they are determined.

Isn't the best in the world then ..... Looks a good size, and if not saddles other bits and pieces would fit. Lucky you.
