Hi all. I’m interested in learning about any kind of locked medication boxes you use to keep your loved ones safe. My mom is on a number of medications including insulin, so I need something that’s versatile and can hold more than just pill bottles. Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations.

    I bought a combination lockbox from Amazon for about $30. Hid it in my closet and later in a dresser.

    I had a small toolbox and a padlock when my son was younger.
