Claim:
A container cover/door with high security locking system, the cover/door being made of metal and having a first through opening surrounded by a first metal collar extending inwardly from an outer surface of the cover/door, a metal bracket fixedly attached to an inner surface of the cover/door, the metal bracket having a second through opening surrounded by a second metal collar extending outwardly within the first collar, and the locking system comprising a locking mechanism including a housing containing a spring loaded latch, the housing being mounted to an inner surface of the metal bracket, and a security pin comprising a pin head and a pin shaft, the pin head having a larger outer diameter than the pin shaft, wherein the pin head is received within the second collar with a close tolerance therebetween, and the pin shaft extends inwardly from the pin head through an opening in the locking mechanism, further comprising a metal barrier between the locking mechanism and the metal bracket, the metal barrier having a hole through which the pin shaft extends, wherein the hole has a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the pin head, whereby a surface of the metal barrier surrounding the hole acts as a stop for the pin head thereby preventing any possible external abuse of the pin head from being transferred to the locking mechanism.
