Review on πŸ“¦ SereneLife 5 Gallon Locking Storage Container Bin - Large Capacity Stackable Tote Deck Tough Box - Durable Plastic Organizer Bins with Lid, Combination Lock Security - SLSBIN10+ by Mark Sergio

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but too expensive for a plastic box, with or without a lock.

This is normal for what it is. However, it came up while searching for time locks and I didn't look closely enough at the details before purchasing. It's not a timebox, which I would know if I read the details. However, I didn't deduct 2 stars for that as it was my negligence. I removed the sprockets because six plastic sidewalls, 2 metal hinges, a few small screws, and a fastener component that is a mix of metal and plastic shouldn't cost $45 for what I paid. If I had paid more attention I would never have spent as much on what it really is. At night to make sure he sleeps properly instead of stealing his phone, tablet, etc. So I'm going to use this for that purpose until I can get what I really want, which is calculated by time so our new process doesn't depend on an adult in the house to unlock everything. Also, something timed makes it impossible for him to negotiate/grumble to earn extra screen hours when there's no screen. If the lock has a timer, there's no need to worry about it; I can't unlock it. He'll find out pretty quickly that he doesn't have the timer I told him about and then he'll know I have the power to unlock it. Listen to the negotiations.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • For old
