I put my fabric scissors, rotary cutters, and blades in it and kept the key on my keychain! When the kids or husband would say "I can't find my scissors. Can I have the key to your scissor box?" I just said "No". LOL! They learned. Now the kids are all gone so I leave scissors around. Of course, now I seem to misplace them myself! Maybe there were more advantages to that lockbox than was originally thought ...
