A locking system for use with a storage container, the locking system being mounted into a door of the storage container, the locking system comprising: a housing mounted to and extending through the door, a first rod and a second rod extending from the housing, said first and second rods having a locked position extending beyond the periphery of the door and an unlocked position not extending beyond the periphery of the door, a handle extending from the housing, the handle rotatably engaging an axle extending through the housing, the axle engaging a lower cam plate at an off-center position, the lower cam plate engaging a cam link, the cam link connecting an upper cam plate, the upper cam plate and the lower cam plate being contained within the housing, the upper cam plate being operatively connected with said first rod and the lower cam plate being operatively connected with said second rod, the handle rotating the axle which thereby rotates the lower cam plate, which in turn operates the cam link and in turn rotates the upper cam plate, to linearly move at least one of said first and second rods from one of the locked position and the unlocked position to the other of the locked position and unlocked position, a primary locking tab extending forwardly from the lower cam plate into a first recess in the housing, the primary locking tab adapted to be engaged by a circular lock, the first recess adapted to prevent movement of the circular lock and the primary locking tab, a secondary locking tab attached to and extending forwardly from the first rod into a second recess in the housing, the secondary locking tab aligning with a stationary locking tab and both the secondary and the stationary locking tab engaged by a padlock preventing movement of the upper cam plate and the lower cam plate whereby the primary locking tab functions independently of the secondary locking tab, due to the cam link.
