A lockable container for an article comprises a frame ( 2 ) which has an access opening ( 4 ), a closure member ( 10 ) which is pivotally mounted in relation to the frame ( 2 ), and a latch member ( 28 ) which is axially movable within the closure member ( 10 ) between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch member ( 28 ) and the frame ( 2 ) are each provided with one or more interengageable detents ( 8, 34 ) whereby when the closure member ( 10 ) is in a closed position and the latch member ( 28 ) is in the latched position the detents ( 8, 34 ) are engaged and prevent pivoting of the closure member ( 10 ). Movement of the latch member ( 28 ) to the unlatched position causes the detents to disengage and permit pivoting of the closure member. The closure member ( 10 ) is provided with a locking member ( 22 ) for engaging the latch member ( 28 ) to retain it against axial movement.
