Does anybody use or know of any clear plastic boxes with locking lids? I currently use rubs in my rack but because they are slightly frosted it makes it difficult to see in. Looking for something very similar to rubs but completely clear |

they'd be to small :) and aren't the rubs from places like really useful products kinda clear anyway? |

I do have some Ikea boxes but the Mrs wasn't happy with having a lidless rack! |

Or you can ditch the nut and bolt and just silicone the thing together. It holds up pretty good. |

That's what makes rubs great. The slight opaqueness gives the royal a more secure feeling and still quite easy to see through.
I've looked for clear plastic boxes before for my shoes to go under the bed. I couldn't find anything from the regular stores.
Cutting through the rub is not too difficult if you want to add a plexi-glass viewing window. I used kitchen shears and sanded the edges down. |

Yea I remember you had a pic before. Those tubs don't have all the edges rubs have though and I think if I started cutting into a rub it would end up look like a train wreck |

I just cut windows into mine, then add clear perspex. |
