The level of security of the doors on a shipping container varies based on the container manufacturer. Shipping containers are generally made to remain secure at least to handling, outdoor elements, and attempts at theft since they used to transport goods or for outdoor storage. The following locks are often featured on shipping container doors for security purposes:
Heavy duty padlocks
Lock boxes
Innerbolts
Crossbar locks
It is best to seek the highest level of security for doors on shipping containers that are used on construction sites since the costs related to jobsite theft can amount to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. All PODS containers feature steel roll-up doors with secure locking mechanisms that allow users to insert their preferred lock and key. Furthermore, the PODS 16’ All-Steel Container, which is our premium container, is built with the following three locking features on the door for extra security:
Handle Release Lock
Hidden Shackle Lock
Heavy-Duty Security Box for Standard Padlock
