Re: need idea on making locks.
Add latches on each lid that close over tabs with a hole on each display, then you can slide an acrylic rod through all the holes. Use Weld-On to put a small acrylic plate on one end, then drill a hole in the other end of the rod so you can put a lock through that. The rod won't be able to be removed without removing the lock.

One more thing to think about -- depending on where you get the locks from, you can sometimes get multiple locks that use the same key.
