strongboxes
Lockable metal containers
Strongboxes is the plural of strongbox, a sturdy metal container with a lock for storing valuables like money, documents, or jewelry.
Unlike safes, strongboxes are typically portable and designed to be hidden or transported: She kept the deed in a strongbox under her bed.
The word evokes an older era of personal security before modern banking.
