Lockable cabinet

I am looking for a lockable cabinet for confidential documentation at home. I'd like something of decent quality but also good looking and not ridiculously expensive. Would love to hear of your recommendations please.

I lock all our paperwork in a locker by mustard. Mine is pink - I love it!

How lockable - to stop little fingers getting to the paperwork or to stop an intruder?

To keep confidential documentation inaccessible to anyone but me

Ok, I think you will need a lockable steel filing cabinet, can still be opened (quite easily) with tools but you will know it has been done.

We use an IKEA 3-drawer filing cabinet for most paperwork, it has a combination lock (could easily be forced) but we don't lock it anyway. What it does do is provide a neat way of keeping everything in one place while looking (relatively) attractive in its oak veneer finish.
Important paperwork (birth / marriage certificates, bank details, wills, house insurance etc) are in a fire-safe which again isn't locked but means they should survive if the worst happens.
