Sterilite Portable Lockable File Box w/ Extra Compartment & Handle (Set of 4)

Great lockable file boxes very sturdy and plenty of room inside

These are great quality. Very happy with purchase.

These containers are so nice.

Purchased 6 months ago. Great for transporting small files, but the locking mechanism is a problem. It broke and fell off after a few weeks. Have been managing with a carabiner clip through the lock hole. Is it possible to just get a replacement handle?

I'm just gonna say I bought this 10+ yrs ago & my latch immediately broke. Seems like that's still been going on..for years. So.. where's the new latch ? Or why can't I get a replacement latch?

The latch hinge has a thin joint where the latch connects to the box, and the hinge breaks off easily through normal use.

Love the file box. Very well made. But the latch broke in the first month. Used 4 times before it broke off.

This thing is great. I use to store all my children's' school work during the year. If I need to find anything school work during the year, I know right where it is. At the end of the school year, I empty and prepare for the next year.

I am a bus driver and this filing box is great. I now need a replacement latch as I am in and out of this box over 20 times a day.

This file box is exactly what I need for the few things I still keep in paper form. We recently ditched our large file cabinet and digitized most of what was in it. Pros: I like how the entire top area is designed to store essentials (pens, clips, scissors, etc). The other portable file boxes I considered don't have nearly as much space in the lid for this. The latch to close the box and the handle to pick up the box are both solid and sturdy. I can pick this box up one handed, by the handle, full of files and paper, and carry it with confidence (i.e. it does not feel like the latch or handle will give way....causing the bottom of the box to fall out and your files and papers ending up all over the floor due to handle or latch failure - - yes I've had this happen with other file box brands). The only Con I can find is with the hinges. The box I purchased didn't come with the little buttons or plugs that are needed to keep the lid secured to the box. Anyone know where I can find these? Or do I need to buy a whole other box?
