Bend it down about 180 degrees, hit it with a 4lb hammer, rip the hinge off and throw it away. It never opens after this microadjustment.

Either that or adjust the catch. ;)

How do I tweak the catch?

Thanks :y

Alternatively you can be heavy handed like me and rip the catch off completely (by accident). Now I can only get into it with the help of a pen or other such object.

Good security feature now!

I couldn't be ars*d fiddling with the catch and so, in a fit of desperation & frustration, used a couple of bits of black double sided tape (the kind to affix trim bits to the exterior) on the right side of the open box.  Theres just enough 'stickieness' to ensure it stays shut without breaking a nail to force it open.

Worked for me anyway....   :y
