I purchased one kit at a local store. I then purchased another. And THEN I purchased even more online (a better deal). Each compartment opens individually - like a pill container. Way better, though. They don't accidentally open. They are even more secure than other containers because they are made of durable plastic and you have to push a button at the end of the row in order to lift the lid of the particular compartment you need to open. No spills unless you jostle the one compartment you open. I've purchase 3 more of these purple storage kits plus individual ones of differing sizes. I will never purchase different containers again.
I store my lockables in a cart that has drawers. If you buy each little container individually, it costs you more. Buy the ultrasuede one here, and you get 8 containers with 7 storage containers in each row. The containers are clear, so you can see what's there.
I actually got this to organize my earrings - my husband's idea! It's nearly perfect for that. You can see them all and pick the ones you want. Way better than my previous system, where some hung from an earring tree and others were jumbled all together in my jewelry box.
I only have one issue with this. (It was of course designed to hold small beads and such, so perhaps it's not an issue for someone who buys it for that.) Each side of the "book" is pretty much a clear plastic sleeve. Into each sleeve, you slide 4 organizer trays with flip top lids over 7 divided sections (there isn't a separate sleeve for each each tray, which I think would be an improvement too). Each tray has one lock, with a button on the left side of the tray. This is great for the trays on the left side of the "book" because that's where the sleeve opening is, but it's a little bit of a pain for the right side. If the bin I want is on the right side of the tray - right there! - I still have to slide the whole tray all the way out of the sleeve to get to the lock button. A minor inconvenience, I know, but annoying. There could be a lock button on the right side for the tray on the right side of the book.
I have one of the 14 compartment Lockables in which I was storing my medicines and supplements. I have an autoimmune disease and am deficient in many things, so I wind up taking quite a few supplements just to keep up. This organizer allows me to store my daily and nightly meds for 4 weeks. It also allows me to keep my children out of them. I don't have to worry so much, as they are old enough to know better than go in my medicines, but this has two parts to it where you have to push in on the left and simultaneously lift up each individual lid. Two part mechanism. I like that. There are two pieces of flexible plastic in each side, so you can store all 4 trays and they won't slide around too much. When closed, the two straps are set at exactly the correct place to hold in two compartments on each side without them falling out the ends. I ordered one for myself and then I showed my mom because it looks like I take an insane amount of pills. And maybe I do, but my step-dad does, too. Only, he uses a tackle box to store his. He is also an avid fly fisherman. I bought a second one of these for him, so he can use it for either supplements or for his flies. I'm attaching a picture for you to judge me as only a fellow Amazon customer can. I've been using it two months and I'm a little abusive to this thing. I already know Lockables last for years as I originally purchased one for jewelry findings. This case was just an added bonus, and the 8 trays of 7 compartments each are just perfect for what I needed!
FANTASTIC FOR DIAMOND PAINTING!! I use painters tape on the lid and write the diamond color number. The compartments are big so they hold a lot of diamonds. These also don't open unless you hold the side button in so no accidental spilling because it can't open on its own. Also makes travelling very easy if I want to take my painting somewhere else to work on. I am SUPER happy with this purchase and recommend.
I am using this to store sequins and bought it after seeing online how others had utilized it for that purpose. I really like the Lockables for tiny embellishments or objects of any kind because they are designed to make it difficult to accidentally spill your pretties all over the place. The case itself is a bit looser in that regard. There is a plastic sleeve holding each Lockable container in place, allowing you to take them out one at a time. When the case is shut, everything is pretty secure, but when it's open, some of the containers slip out of their sleeves if the case is held at an angle. Still, it's a pretty good organizer for the price.

I HATE doing my pillboxes bc I'm medically complex and take so many medications. It's just not practical for me to open all those pharmacy bottles every day or even every week. I love this organizer bc I can sit down every 8 weeks and count out 2 months' worth of medications.
This organizational system eliminates the main problems I keep having with other pillboxes. Each individual box is plenty large enough for all my daily meds, including larger capsules and vitamin gummies. The lock mechanism ensures the boxes never open by accident if I throw one in my purse or my cat knocks it off my nightstand. I can easily see how many weeks' worth of daily meds I have left so I can plan when I need to set aside an hour to count out meds for the next 2 months again. And the purple case keeps all my prepared pillboxes in the same place, all together.
This thing makes my life so much easier! So glad to have finally found a permanent solution!
I have been searching for a ribbon storage solution that I could use in my craft room AND take with me on weekend crops. This solution is the closest I've found to being perfect.
I love that the space between spools is adjustable, but the single slot could be just a smidgon wider so that I didn't have to take up 2 spots on some of my rolls. It is plenty deep enough for what I need.
The units are stackable, so that makes it nice and help keeps things neet. I was a bit concerned about the way it closes; afraid that it is going to come open. Hasn't happened so far, but I might modify it with a velcro strap "just to be sure". That won't hinder the functioning of the unit.
I try to keep my ribbon colors together and found that I actually have enough of each color family to fill one organizer with each color. This means that I actually need multiple organizers. I don't really mind, but now I need to designate a tote/carrier just for my ribbon boxes! Maybe I have too much ribbon....NOPE, a card maker/scrapbooker can never have too much ribbon!
Overall, i will give this 5 stars because of its portability. If I was only staying at home, it isn't the solution I would choose.
This thing is defintely worth the price. I use it for my 5d diamond pictures. The diamonds are so tiny that they would always mix in previous containers by slipping through the crack of the lid and the compartment wall. However, these completely seal shut so no mixing. Another amazing feature, that is especially great for parents with naughty toddlers, there is a mechanism you have to push before pulling it open making it impossible for the toddler to get it open. I love it!
I use this for a vitamin/meds organizer. I can pre-load 6 weeks of am/pm vitamins and meds at a time. This little case is handy and easy to travel with. Also, the locking plastic grids keep your contents in place until you are ready to open them--no spills! Great product. I also have one that I sort scrapbooking embellishments in (brads, snaps, beads, buttons, etc.) in. Very versatile product for any small items you need to sort and secure.
My son needed a sturdy set of well-locking compartments to hold the small (but not tiny) pieces. Most of these types of boxes have very small compartments only suitable for holding tiny pieces. This unit has large compartments that can hold small parts securely. The locking mechanism for these units is very impressive. While simple to use and easy to actuate the spring loaded 'positive locking' mechanism is well designed and lasts for a long time.
