The locking handles that keep the lid in place don't drop below the top of the file box so I have routinely knocked the handles off as I am filing. Now several are broken (I bought three) and won't stay on the box. I have to put the handles back on every time I want to lock the lid.
For my home I try to keep a good filing system of each year and each type of expense. This box will help me do that then allow me to store them dust/mold/ insect free! Very versatile!
