Buy recommendations Ammo storage

I currently store my ammo in a lockable container that hides it pretty good. I am building out a small 8x10 gun/hunting/fishng room. I am looking for something to store ammo other than ammo cans (locks cost too much to add to every one of them) that is nt insanely heavy (ie no safes) and is lockable. Any suggestions?

My understanding was in order to be considered a secure room for the purposes of firearm/ammo storage it needed to be an exterior door, not just drywall on the walls and no windows or windows with bars.

I don't think there is a real definition of it. However from what I can find there is multiple cases showing a higher standard than I have. From my knowledge I am not wanting to put myself at a higher risk of a charge should someone break in.

The law is vague for a reason and there is no reason why you shouldn't take extra precaution if that's what you feel is correct for your own specific circumstances. Don't listen to the bad advice here

I'm not even aware of a single lone case for just this specific law. Its a tack on offense.
