inexpensive - I'm not worried about theft resistance, just to keep it out of a child's hands.

The other thought I had was to just install a lock on the drawer of the nightstand. Does a quick-access keypad type lock exist for this purpose?


There is a programmable combination lock that can be opened in the dark by sliding the center button to R,L, or Up and Down. You'd have to install a hasp on the drawer, of course.

Visualize the lock face as a clock. Three O'clock is the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Six O'clock is 4,5, and 6..... etc. I set mine to 4570, which meant I pushed down twice, left once, and up once.

I think I bought it at Lowe's.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
