Abstract
A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover and a bottom ring which are separated by a compression spring. Once extended protrusions on both the exterior cover and bottom ring of the lid are vertically aligned, a specific pressing and then twisting motion must be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication which may be securely stored and protected from children who might otherwise access an unprotected and unsecured container.
