Lockabox is a hygienic, secure, lockable storage for food in shared fridges. It can be used to keep medicines safe and lock personal, private or household items away.

The brain child behind Lockabox, Peter Morris, said: “Talking face-to-face with customers is a great opportunity to get direct feedback and test our marketing ideas with immediate effect. It’s really informative and sales are going well, so we must be doing something right! Thank you TDA for supporting us.”

Lockabox was created in 2012 by then student Peter as a way to stop fellow students eating his food from the communal fridge. Lockabox is now proudly manufactured locally in Devon.
