hmmm... begin with a flat base, and put a central support into the middle that is as long as the supposrt is wide...
then have another piece of wood the same size as the base on the top of the centra support.
Put hinges onto the base and have pieces of wood the same shape and size as the base attached to the hinges by screws, and so this for all 4 sides of the base...
when the "doors" are pulled up they would lock into the top part on the central support.
Cam locks would be a good bet for this, but you could make a kind of catch mechanism to fit to the back of the other types, and so long as you only turn the plug 45 degrees when you've unlocked it would work okay in my oppinion.
you could put multiple locks on each door and only when they hhave opened then can the door be pulled down. Each door could have varying degrees of difficulty, or of type (one door for rim-cylinders, one for tubualr locks, one for dimple etc.....)
Well that's an idea I had some time ago, and it sounded good, but never got round to it - maybe someone here might try and make it
