A lockable pill container is disclosed including a main body with a pluralit y of individual compartments for receiving pills. Each compartment has a lid member connected to the main body by a hinge permitting it to be moved betwe en open and closed positions. Each lid member has a downwardly projecting hook member that projects through an opening in the main body when the lid is closed. An elongated locking member is laterally inserted into the main body and transversely moveable relative to the hook members between first and second positions. In the first position, the elongated locking member engage s the hook members of those lid members that are closed to lock them in the closed position. In the second position, the elongated locking member does n ot engage the hook members which may be opened and closed without the locking function. The elongated locking member is normally biased into the locking position by a transverse member that includes a downwardly projecting, externally accessible transverse member. The transverse member is formed fro m resilient material, which normally biases the elongated locking member to it s first or locking position. The user may press the transverse member and thus move the elongated locking member against the bias to the second or nonlocki ng position. The elongated locking member may be selectively removed from the pill container to render the locking feature inoperative if the pill contain er is used in an environment where locking is not necessary.
