Abstract
An enclosure system for vehicles may include a body with mounting points for mounting the body in a passenger compartment of a vehicle and adapted to fit under a bench seat in the vehicle. The body may include multiple walls coupled together and may couple with one or more doors. For example, the one or more doors may couple with the body with one or more hinges and may close over a top of the body to form one or more cavities in which items may be stored. The enclosure system may also include one or more locking mechanisms for coupling the doors in a closed position and securing the cavities and items within the cavities.
