      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a shipping container lock box?

      A shipping container lock box is a steel housing fitted over the container’s locking point to protect the padlock from cutting, tampering, or forced entry.

      Are lock boxes suitable for all shipping containers?

      Lock boxes are designed for standard shipping container door layouts and are suitable for use across a wide range of new and used container types.

      What’s the difference between bolt-on and weld-on lock boxes?

      Bolt-on lock boxes are fixed using bolts and can be installed without welding, while weld-on lock boxes are permanently welded to the container for added security.

      Do I need a specific padlock for a lock box?

      Lock boxes are designed to work with compatible heavy-duty padlocks. View our range of suitable padlocks to get the right fit for your lock box.
