One of the features of cargo containers that hold a lot of importance is the security features. Utilizing one of these containers for storage, a retail store, portable office space, and other uses means that you need to keep the items inside of it safe when you’re away. Most ISO containers have a standard security feature where the cargo doors lock on one end with dual locking rods and a four-handle latch system. One the handle, a padlock can be placed to lock the door. However, this is a visible locking system and is vulnerable to bolt-cutters taking off the padlock and allowing the container to be opened without the key.

Modifications can be made to your cargo container to keep it more secure than with just the visible padlock. A lockbox is one security feature offered that provides more security while being cost-efficient. Some one-trip containers already offer lock boxes on their units. Lock boxes are available on custom doors as well as standard doors. Other security options include bars for the windows, doors, and turbine vents.
