Frameless cabinet locks

[Victor Robinson]

Finally going to be installing some decent garage cabinets, having ripped out the old dilapidated "cabinets," if you could even call them that. It was actually sort of a forced project in that I had to rip out the wall they were on as part of ongoing renovations on our place. The upside is that it makes the garage/shop completely dysfunctional to have all those tools/supplies out of some kind of accessible storage, so daddy gets some new shop storage.

Since I don't have a ton of time for this project, I'm going with Ikea melamine boxes. I'll source my own hardware and make the fronts and drawers (simple slab frameless).

I'd like at least some drawers and doors to be lockable. I realize anyone with minimal perseverance could bust them open, but I'd like it as an initial deterrence. I've browsed the usual sources (LV, WWH, etc.), settling on something like this for drawers

but still looking for something for cabinet doors.

What do you all recommend or what have you used?

You can probably use Gang Locks (http://www.rockler.com/gang-locks). I think that you referenced a rear lock, which should work.

I don't know if something like this could be adapted for your use: http://www.rockler.com/stealthlock-keyless-cabinet-locking-system-sl-100

Even a standard lock (like this http://www.rockler.com/surface-mounted-pin-tumbler-drawer-locks) should be usable for the top drawer, but, it could not fit far into the "top" and you may need to reinforce it with some metal. Don't think this would work for anything but the top drawer, however. Well, maybe the bottom drawer, but either feels like a stretch.
