A container with a latch comprising:

• a lower portion and an upper portion connected to one another by a hinge such that when the lower and upper portions come into contact with one another, they define an interior space;
• a latch configured to selectively bind the lower and upper portions together and limit access to the interior space, said latch comprising:
• a base having a front face, a rear face, a connected end, and a selectively engageable binding end, and wherein the rear face further includes an upward hook, a downward hook, and a binding tooth, and
• wherein a height of the latch relative to the lower portion can be slidably adjusted between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein in said extended position, the upward hook is engaged with the lower portion and the downward hook is disengaged with the lower portion, and wherein in said retracted position, the downward hook is engaged with the lower portion and the upward hook is disengaged with the lower portion;
• and
• wherein the latch is pivotably movable about the connected end when the latch is in the extended position such that the binding end can move between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein in said disengaged position, the binding tooth is disengaged from the upper portion of the container, and in said engaged position, the binding tooth is engaged with the upper portion of the container.
