Abstract
A storage apparatus for storing a collection of compact discs and other recording media in an orderly manner and containing a locking assembly to prevent the unwanted removal of individual compact disc storage cases. The storage apparatus is fashioned generally from top, bottom, back and side walls with the front of the apparatus being open for insertion and removal of compact discs. A plurality of side rails are organized on each side wall such that compact disc storage cases may be held horizontally in a coplanar relationship. The security assembly is described in various embodiments, each having in common the ability to prevent removal of the compact disc storage cases while simultaneously permitting the informative labels contained in the cases to be viewed for easy identification.
