I’m not a fan of communal tack rooms, so I need to build/buy a tack locker ( I have 3 horses, so a trunk isn’t enough). Instead of a heavy wood one, I thought one of the aluminum airplane box type that’s portable would be really nice to have. I’m trying to find a place in the USA that makes reasonably priced (~$2k) medium sized metal tack lockers similar Flexi Equine. The only US based supplier seem to focus on super luxury versions. Any ideas??
I wonder if you could get a local metal work shop to make one? I live in an industrial area and fabrication shops are a dime a dozen. Not sure whereabouts in Texas you are, but I’d perhaps go that route. It may not be as fancy as one pre-fabbed for equestrians, but if that doesn’t bother you it could be an option.

I think Flexi makes a plain metal one that’s less expensive. I think Equitex is making them too. They posted one on their instagram.
I’ll see if mine has the brand on it when I get home. I bought a used one for my daughter and it is so fantastic. I zip around unloading at horse shows or she does Pony Club. So convenient- it wasn’t one of the super expensive ones but it is metal and relatively easy to get around.

The problem with any of the Flexi ones is the $400 shipping cost. I’d love to find a used one. I’m looking for durable and functional, not “bespoke” as some describe themselves
I think Dalman Jump Co makes some nice ones, not sure about shipping though!

Did you ever get a chance to check the brand Pennywell?
I checked with them, but they start at $4500.
Hmmm… that particular one wouldn’t be deep enough for a saddle, but that’s a good thought about looking at metal garage cabinets.
I would check with Equitex… I’m pretty sure they’re made in the US.
You could retrofit an ATA case, if you’re okay with the rugged look. Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WARDROBE-ATA-CASE-HEAVY-DUTY-TRUNK-SINGLE-SIDED/360301970435?hash=item53e3abc403:g:H4wAAOxy5P9RG0gL&frcectupt=true

What about Top Jock Tack Boxes?
I had saved this on Amazon last month, but it appears to have gone unavailable. It was in the $300 range with free shipping if you want to try to find it elsewhere.
Here’s some 24" deep cabinets, you could remove the shelves and put in a saddle rack and hangers. All or most have free shipping for Prime members.
