Hence my point which you have clearly ignored: why not use blood magic on the drawer and a protection spell on the box? That way only Cora and her daughters can open the drawer. And then out of the 3 people who can access the box, only Cora (and Zelena) can get through the protection spell on the box because Regina couldn't use magic as a child. I'm guessing Cora had a reason. I think she blood magicked the box because she may move the wand box around, plus, noone would be suspcious of a locked drawer versus a drawer that shocks you.

Also, we aren't for sure how protection spells work to a large degree because Regina got through Emma's protection spell by using Henry's scarf. What's to say that Regina would the Henry to Cora. Plus, she likley blood magicked the box first. Also there could be other things in the drawer that people like Henry Sr might need so locking the drawer from everyone could not be an option. Its not like people have drawers for just one object.
