[[:Lockbox]] → {{no redirect|Lockbox (accounts receivable)}} – If there is a primary topic for "lockbox", it is [[safe]] or [[bank vault|vault]] or [[locker]]{{snd}} i.e., a box that can be locked, not a banking service for processing incoming payments (a usage of the term that most people have never even heard of). In everyday reality, a "lockbox" is primarily a place for the figurative or literal safekeeping of items, as famously promoted by [https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/cold-opening-gore--bush-first-debate/n11360 U.S. presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush] (please click that link, it's worth a loook!), e.g., as reported in [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-oct-31-cl-44460-story.html this] article in the ''Los Angeles Times'' (and discussed in several different Wikipedia articles, such as at {{section link|2000 United States presidential election#Notable expressions and phrases}}). Another potential title I thought about was "{{-r|Lockbox (banking)}}", but that would also not be clear at all, since banks also have [[safe deposit box]]es and [[bank vault]]s, which are lockboxes. Since there are different types of lockboxes, it may be best to create a disambiguation page with the various meanings (also including other meanings such as the one related to information security & cryptography, [[real estate lock box]] a.k.a.

*'''Support'''. I agree this is not the primary topic. I think [[Lockbox]] should redirect to [[Safe]] as the primary redirect and a disambiguation page created at [[Lockbox (disambiguation)]] for other possible meanings. [[User:Rreagan007|Rreagan007]] ([[User talk:Rreagan007|talk]]) 16:42, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
*'''Support''' Makes sense, and seems to be consistent with, for example, usage in Google news and search. My mind personally jumps first to the type we have at [[real estate lock box]]. I don't love the suggested parenthetical term but don't have a better one given the concerns raised with using (banking). And I'd lean towards a dab page rather than a primary redirect to [[safe]], but don't feel particularly strong on that either way.--[[User: Yaksar|Yaksar]] [[User talk: Yaksar|(let's chat)]] 18:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

US-centric?

[edit]

A little US-centric? Perhaps "Typical costs _in the US_ are...", and some examples of the differences between the countries in which lock-boxen are available?--Avapoet (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What About Door Handles?!

[edit]

Umm you guys do realize that a lock box also refers to a common locking device for door handles, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.10.123.113 (talk) 00:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a reference to a Mortise lock or a Bored cylindrical lock or something else? — BarrelProof (talk) 03:29, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on Lock box. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

LockboxLockbox (accounts receivable) – If there is a primary topic for "lockbox", it is safe or vault or locker – i.e., a box that can be locked, not a banking service for processing incoming payments (a usage of the term that most people have never even heard of). In everyday reality, a "lockbox" is primarily a place for the figurative or literal safekeeping of items, as famously promoted by U.S. presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush (please click that link, it's worth a loook!), e.g., as reported in this article in the Los Angeles Times (and discussed in several different Wikipedia articles, such as at 2000 United States presidential election § Notable expressions and phrases). Another potential title I thought about was "Lockbox (banking)", but that would also not be clear at all, since banks also have safe deposit boxes and bank vaults, which are lockboxes. Since there are different types of lockboxes, it may be best to create a disambiguation page with the various meanings (also including other meanings such as the one related to information security & cryptography, real estate lock box a.k.a. key box, post office box, Amazon Locker, and Packstation. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
