A container's standard locking bars keep the doors closed tight \u2013 but they are not theft protection: a bolt cutter cuts through them in seconds. Anyone who wants to secure the contents retrofits a container lock<\/strong> , usually a Lock Box with a hardened shackle padlock of protection class VdS or SKG**; the box fully shields the lock cylinder against tool attacks. This page shows the common lock types, which one suits which door, and whether it is welded or bolted on.<\/p>\n

The Lock Box \u2013 the standard<\/h2>\n

A Lock Box<\/strong> is a welded steel box that completely encloses a shackle padlock hung inside it. From the outside there is no point of attack for bolt cutters or crowbars. The Lock Box is placed on the right door so that it blocks the door opening sequence \u2013 the left door can only be opened after the right one.<\/p>\n

Which shackle padlock goes inside?<\/h3>\n

The Lock Box takes a hardened shackle padlock with a short shackle<\/strong> \u2013 discus (round) or monoblock shape. A short shackle means hardly any surface for bolt cutters to attack, even if they are applied from underneath the box. Look for a fully hardened shackle (not just chrome-plated), a protection class of SKG**\/VdS or higher, and a disc or double-bit cylinder instead of a simple pin cylinder.<\/p>\n
