Do you have a storage container at home or work? Make sure your belongings are effectively protected by installing a lock box. In this article, we explain why and how to set up this essential security feature.
Why Add a Lock Box?
Containers often come with simple locks that can be vulnerable to vandalism or theft. By adding a lock box (also called a "lock protector"), you add an extra layer of security:
-
Protection against cutting and sawing: The box covers the padlock, preventing direct access.
-
Durability: Made of sturdy metal, it resists weather and tampering.
-
Peace of mind: Your items are safe, whether at home, on a job site, or in a warehouse.
Installation Steps
Here’s an overview of the process, which takes about 15 minutes using basic tools:
Preparation
- Gather your lock box kit and the necessary tools (drill, drill bits, bolts).
- Use the provided drilling guide to mark the positions.
Drilling
- Start with a small bit (e.g., 9/32) to make pilot holes.
- Then use a larger bit (e.g., 1/2) to finalize the openings.
- Tip: Add some drilling oil to make working with metal easier.
Installation
- Attach the first part of the box on the door that closes first.
- Insert the bolts and secure everything in place.
- Add the second part of the box, which covers the main latch.
Finishing Up
- Insert the specialized padlock (if purchased with the kit).
- Check that everything is aligned and working smoothly.
