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.
