From community projects to thriving businesses, our customers share how portable buildings and containers have helped them adapt their space and bring new ideas to life.
A lock box is a steel cover welded around the padlock on a shipping container. Its purpose is to protect the padlock from tampering, making it much more difficult for thieves to gain access using tools such as bolt cutters.
If you’re comparing shipping containers, it’s a feature that’s well worth looking out for.
Why Is a Lock Box Important?
While a strong padlock is essential, it’s still exposed if it isn’t protected.
A lock box acts as a shield around the padlock, making it much harder to access or cut. It’s a simple feature that adds an extra layer of security and helps keep your tools, equipment or stock protected.
Do All Shipping Containers Have a Lock Box?
No. Not every shipping container comes with a lock box as standard.
At Dainton Portable Buildings, however, all of our shipping containers include a welded steel lock box, giving you added peace of mind from day one.
It’s one of those small details that can make a big difference when it comes to protecting what’s inside.
