Container locks
Prevent cargo theft and climbers with a certified container lock
In container transport, you want the cargo to arrive at its destination in good condition. That is why it is important to keep the container doors closed during transport. Closed to criminals, but also to climbers. So why in practice is hardly ever invested in container locks? Usually, a cheap container seal is chosen, while these container seals are not secure at all. This will not stop criminals. Container seals are easy to break open and manipulate, while this is practically impossible with a good container lock.
