how would you lock/vent/wire this cab?

i picked this up today for $20 :) it's gonna be my veg cab. i'm going to use 26w cfl's, 6x6500k most like


now, first priority is security; second is ventilation; third is wiring.

i want the locks to look as discreet as possible; easiest thing would be to use big padlocks, but that's very suspicious. what i'm thinking is: one small lock on the middle door (a small round key-lock), and then i'm thinking, rather than doing that to all three doors, i could attach an L bracket on the inside, and put a bar of wood accross, so i'd open the middle door, then pull the bar up and off the other doors. that's a HORRIBLE description, and i can imagine if you don't get what i'm saying; i can't describe it well; but it's like when folks put a 2x4 accross the inside of a door in a castle or something, if you get my drift.

anyway, i'm well open to suggestions on locking

for ventilation i have a 92mm computer fan here, with a high cfm rating. i figure i'll use that for exhaust, and drill holes for passive intake

i have three walmart utility clip fixtures i can use, by ghetto duct-taping and stapling to the ceiling of the cab, but i'm short a few fixtures


my ideal is to make things as low pro as possible; all the wiring must be internal, and i want it to be silent

thus, i want to get an AC/DC adapter for the fan that is ADJUSTABLE; i've seen them, but not sure where to get them. anyone know?


i'm going to be starting my seeds soon in my closet under cfl's, but will transition them to the cab, and flower in the closet under hps. i want to eventually get a cab for flowering as well, and use T5HO to keep heat down

any advice appreciated

If you want discreet locks go to ToysRUs, WalMart and look for child proof locks. They are very easy to install, and open with a clever magnet handle looking dealie. Just put that somewhere discreet.

I would not start seeds until you sort out your ventilation and wiring plan. It can take a very long time to find quiet!! Goodluck!!

try wal mart or radio shack for a universal ac to dc adapter with adjustable voltage.
