I have a smilodon case and I want to be able to lock the front door. The thing is, it has two (pathetic) magnets that (try to) hold it closed. Since this is a case modding forum, where would I go to buy, locks, drills and whatever? I would prefer a lock with a key cause, I have a 12-year-old sister who thinks it's ok to open my panel door and press buttons on my LCD display...

Something like a small luggage lock would be preferable , you don't want to lose the key and have to break apart your case door.

You should be able to incorporate any small tumble-lock into the case. This sort of lock is the type that you find on filing cabinets, and the key is not very intricate.

The general size is a 1/2" -3/4" diameter barrel that is about 2/4" - 1" long. The locking portion is a small tab that rotates through 90 - 180 degrees.

They cost a few bucks.

The only issue that I can think of is that the depth of the barrel may limit the location of the mounting.

Shes 12.. thats easily old enough to know between bad and good. Punish her, ground her, whatever you need to do.

(Trying not to be rude)
If you just make it so she CAN'T do it, thats not teaching her anything. You need to ground her or something, and tell her not to do it. Otherwise she is never going to learn to listen to you.


(I just read shes your SISTER, not your daughter. My bad. Well tell her parents to punish her then. )
