I got given it free as part of my becoming a childminder process - I couldn't lock it. I bought one of those small file cabinets from whsmith (well, dh did) and I can fit the NCMA one in there, an A4 folder and hanging files for each child......
I got one free
Mine came with a little padlock on
I got the one from WHSmith's too - you can fit a lot in it and it was reduced in the sale

You do have to use a padlock to lock it. Can't remember if the padlock came with ours but I use a combination lock so I don't have to remember where I put the key
Now, I wondered this as well, and all i had to do was knock the file over and out popped a padlock and 2 keys in a little plastic packet!
It was in the file all along. (2 weeks of having the file and wondering where i was gonna get a little padlock from!)
Have a good old rummage in your box/file as u may find there is a lock and key packet hidden in there somewhere
Ah but mine had the padlock and keys, found them fin, and neither my husband nor I could work out how to lock it - the bit of plastic you'd expect you hook the padlock round is not attached to the rest of the file, it just flaps around.....
gave up in the end!
They are a farce what a waste of time issuing a rubbish light lock with a stupid tiny key together with a plastic box that has unsealed joins and the plastic bit you attach the lock to cud be cut with just 1 snip of a blunt scissors if someone wanted to get into it. The Morton Michel stuff come in a folder which has no hope as far as locking is concerned.
Oh, and yes the rubbish tiny lock and rubbish easy to lose key's are at the bottom of the box - I came across them by accident. I put it on for my inspection and had the daft key attached to a huge key ring.
I have two lockable metal file boxes but one of them is a bit old and the lock isn't that great and if you just close the lid and don't lock it and pick the box up by the handle it opens and the front falls down and half the contents fall out - but again I made a big issue of having everything locked and jangled all my keys on my various oversized keyrings which I kept in a top drawer in the play room up high out of childrens reach. If its your inspection you are worried about just write up a confidentiality policy and tell her where you keep the file and how you insure no parents can gain access to it.

I'm going to go and have a look to see if I've got any keys! I've never taken all of the contents out at the same time to see! I've had it almost a year and never noticed!
Back in a sec!
I have! Oh how funny!
No idea where to attach the thing though!
Can someone attach a photo of their locked file for me please so I can see what in the world I'm meant to be doing? I can't work it out and it's making me cross already!
I never was a potential Krypton Factor contestant!
Thank you!
I don't have a white thing Sandra! Unless that's hidden at the bottom too?
I'll have a look!
Nope I don't have one!
