Abstract: A toolbox including a basin portion and a lid pivotally articulated thereto between an open position and a closed position, is provided. The lid includes two or more latches, each positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position, two or more biasing members, each associated with one of the latches and adapted to bias its associated latch toward its locked position, and an activation mechanism operationally connected to the latches such that operation of the activation mechanism brings all of the latches to their unlocked positions. The basin includes two or more latch-receiving arrangements, each configured to receive one of the latches when in the locked position with the lid in its closed position, thereby preventing articulation of the lid to its open position.
