I would not store HCL or HCL/H202 anyware near something you would not like to rust. HCL has a habit of getting out of any container even with a tight cap. Keep the container glass or plastic outside in a second container to keep it cool and eliminate any the UV that would degrade your storage container. I store my HCL bottle in a 5 gallon drywall mud bucket/lid out in the yard. Don't put it in the garage unless you want all your tools or even your new car rusting.
