Looks neat. But I wonder if there's a mechanical solution. eg give the
customer a loop to put a padlock through to lock the lid, and hide the boot
button behind, such that they can't press it without undoing the
padlock. Could even be something simple like a Kensington lock slot where
the boot button is deeply recessed in the slot - you have to stick a
screwdriver in the slot and can't do so if there's a lock inserted.
Of course that might cost more than your solution, so you can probably
ignore me :)
