ToolBox Setup for Trailer Question

What is the best toolbox brand set up you can get for a 24' enclosed trailer for racing?

I have a 28' enclosed with a Cornwell tool box like this one ...

http://dallas.craigslist.org/tls/407657173.html

The casters have been removed and it's bolted to the floor.

I cut a window and the bottom out of the bottom drawer and mounted my winch to floor and inside the drawer space. It keeps it hidden, secure and out of the way.

Whatever you get, make sure you get locks for it to keep the drawers from coming open while in transit.

We just use a small 5 drawer. You dont need that many tools for racing, a good set of wrenches, and a good set of sockets usually do the trick. Along with a couple screwdrivers and a BFH

What I have seen people do is weld or bolt a u to the top and bottom of the box, insert a piece of flat steel through the top or a folding piece with a hinge though top/bottom and use padlocks to secure the top, bottom, hinge.
