Need Help Securing this Cabinet

So I've got this cab I'm going to be finishing out this week and the one thing I'm not sure of is how I'm going to secure the doors. I could put a padlock on it but that just screams out something's hiding inside me. I can't really think of a good way to secure the doors without drawing extra attention to it on sight.FYI I am going to be putting a board down the center where the doors are to block light from coming out as well as a shelf about 2/3 of the way up between the bottom and top to separate clone/mom chamber and veg/flower chamber.This cabinet isn't sturdy so there's not going to be any way to really secure the doors against being opened by someone determined to get in. I am mainly just wanting to deter anyone who might curiously try to open it but who isn't going to break it open to find what's inside (ie a kid, nosey relative, nosey maintenance person, who knows). Lucky my wife or I am home just about 24/7 so there is almost never someone not here which is one of the reasons I'm not as worried about it, but I do want to secure it against the nosey random visitor.One of the biggest ways I'm going to deter people is by surrounding the doors with JUNK -- boxes, stacked stored things, basically make it so someone has to move that stuff just to see what's inside. The room it is in we basically just use for storing stuff in and there's no reason for anyone to go in there but us -- but assuming they do guessing that is going to deter 99% of people unless they are determined to see what is in that armoire I have. I still want something more substantial than that though.Ideas welcome :)

Look for the magnetic child locks that require a magnet "key". That way if someone asks say it was lost at some point in storage

you can just put a bar that goes through each of the side wall and into the doors... like you have to take the bar out from the side to open it.... unless you know its there you are the only one that can open it, just a thougth!

just put a good key lock on it, the type you would have on a tool chest or the like or the security locks with the cylinder key (circle)

try this type of barrel latch thing on the door,

or this other type just to keep pressure and hold the door closed...

and finishing off with a simple cabinet lock...
