I bought a lockable toolbox a couple years ago and it's worked well for me. What are you trying to protect your ammo from? My toolbox keeps my ammo out of my kids' hands and that's exactly what I got it for.

Surplus ammo cans make for good storage. Built one out of 1x12 pine a few years back. Made it through a divorce and house fire...still going strong.

Surplus metal ammo cans work well as well.

Our local surplus stores sell ammo cans for about four bucks each. There's always a couple stacks of them maybe five feet tall - all different sizes and kinds.
Of course, this is Utah. I can't even guess what California might have.

Well, I can endorse the MTM Dry-Loc boxes if you can't get surplus ammo cans. Not as cheap, but darn good - like all MTM products.

I use an old 5 drawer Steelcase File Cabinet. It locks and is very sturdy. The deep, wide drawers let me store a LOT of ammo, and it allows easy sorting too.
For bulk ammo, I just stack the cases up in a back closet. I made low shelf out of treated 4 X 4, and boy you can get a lot of 7.62 X 39. 5.56 X 45 and 7.62 X 51 in a closet
