, IF you felt the need to lock a cabinet built of 1" thick nominal lumber (aka 1x pine from home depot, to make it "forgiving" in the event of a fire, I would use a light finish nail on the non opening sections. This way you can slow the fire and heat transmission, but IF it blew, the explosion would be less than even a refrigerator. Goal is to stay away from any metal container... no?

The refrigerator idea.... with a golden rod heater installed.... is my next "stealth gunsafe." Can't wait for the Mrs. Freezer to fail!!! It's right next to my big safe!

On primer storage, all my primers have been vacuumed packed courtesy of the Mrs. "Food Saver" so that they are water/moisture proof. I only keep on my bench what I'm going to be using over the next few weeks.

Metal makes shrapnel. I'd buy a bid plastic toolbox with a means to use a lock and drill holes in that
