paint, combustible storage

What type of storage lockers do any of you use for paint, paint thinner, auto fluids, etc? I just have them under the work bench and would like to get better organized and maybe safer.

Unplugged, of course. Insulates temperature, light, and smell.

I keep anything that could burn or support combustion in locked steel cabinet outside of my garage.
This includes... Paint thinners, Gasoline, Oil, Cutting fluid etc.

It's about the size of a normal two door bed room wardrobe.

Same as Peter. I rescued an old, double door, flame resistant, double-walled cabinet from an old vocational school being torn down. I put casters on it so I can move it around.

Old lockers work too. That's what I have outside. I also use old file cabinets.

Under the baby's crib. Keeps the bad smells away from my work area.

We keep quite a bit of stuff in lockers. We also have a room built in one corner of our shop for storage of all paints and there is a mixing bench in there as well. Its on the opposite corner from where any flame related activities occur.
