Also glad to see this is back on topic. The financial infidelity confessions were starting to sound like a promise keepers forum.

I like the spring idea. I was going to ask about opening the lid but figured I my OCD was kicking in and I'd be over thinking it but luckily your OCD trumps mine.

Great idea on the spring open hinges. Every little change you have done has made me wish I hadn't already built one.
How do I get my wife to forget that I already have one?
A hammer.
On your old one.
I mean the lock box not the wife.
Or did I?

Just got off the phone with Medeco and their distributor I'm using. Seems there is an issue with "ownership" of the lock and who is deemed the "original purchaser" because warranty and spare key availability seems to be an issue. I'm working it all out now. I did NOT want to become a Medeco reseller because there is no way to commit to their sales expectations. Will work it all out by Monday I hope.

For those that got in on the group buy and getting the Fire Extinguisher Mount with the Locking Lid or just the Locking Lid by itself, here is what the Locking Lid will mostly likely look like. About to send in the files to the metal shop.

this is looking good
Thanks Nguyen.
The lid looks great! If it would save you a few bucks in manufacturing costs, there's probably no need to recess the lock on the FEM lid since it doesn't need to "disappear" like the console lock box does.
Good point. Might also catch less crumbs/dirt/junk if not recessed.

Well it's more about consistency and spreading the cost of the die. The emboss gives you a flat lid. Now if you wanted to mount things on top of the lid and let's say maybe...conspicuously "hide" the keyhole you can.
Since I'm paying $650 anyway for one stupid die, I would like to get as much utilization out of it in order for it to pay for itself.

That is a good point but then I would have to redesign the locking cam to accommodate for the height change relative to the lid and lock flange. Let me think on it.
Ah, I hadn't thought of obscuring the keyhole...forgive me for doubting your genius!

Good point but that is what the shop vac is for. I have to justify the cost of the 6 HP shop vac to the wife and crumbs in the keyhole work for me.

"Crumbs in the Keyhole" is going to be the name of my son's band. I've decided. I'll tell him when he wakes up. He will be surprised...since he doesn't have a band, can't play an instrument very well and GuitarSmith doesn't count

Glad I could be of assistance. I expect a 10% cut in all album sales.

As manager I get my customary 10%. Since you will be managing me you get 10% of MY 10%
