    Designed by an independent gear enthusiast, the Gear Vault Box began as a workshop experiment in making exposed mechanisms useful. Cut, fitted, assembled, and mechanically tuned, it became a functional stainless-steel storage box with real moving gears.

      Individual metal components are cut from the working design.

      PREPARE THE COMPONENTS

      Panels, gears, and linkages are organized and prepared for fitting.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do the external gears really move?

      Yes. The visible external gears are mechanically linked and move together as you interact with the box. This linked movement is the product’s core experience.

      Is it only a display piece, or can I store items inside?

      It does both. The box works as an interactive mechanical desk object and provides interior space for keys, coins, rings and other small everyday items.

      Does it include a combination lock?

      Yes. A top-mounted three-digit combination lock is part of the opening experience. The product is designed as interactive storage and desk art rather than a professional security safe.

      How large and heavy is it?

      It measures approximately 145 × 115 × 115 mm and weighs about 1.7 kg, giving it a compact footprint with substantial desk presence.
