Container Locking Systems for Maximum Security

Keeping your shipping container secure is non-negotiable—whether you’re storing tools, inventory, equipment, or valuable assets. At CMG Containers, we offer high-quality container locking systems designed to protect your unit from break-ins, tampering, and harsh weather conditions.

From heavy-duty lock boxes to smartphone-based smart access upgrades, our solutions ensure your container stays protected on jobsites, remote locations, storage yards, and during transport.

Why Invest in a Secure Container Locking System?

  • Enhanced Security: Prevent unauthorized access and theft. A locking system increases entry resistance and deters break-in attempts.
  • Weather Protection: Lock housings shield your padlock from corrosion and harsh weather. This helps extend the lifespan of your security system.
  • Professional Safety: Keep jobsite materials and tools secured even during off-hours. It reduces loss risk and supports workplace accountability.
  • Higher Asset Value: Containers with upgraded security maintain better resale potential. Buyers prefer units already outfitted for protection.

Factors To Consider While Choosing Container Locking Systems

Container Locking Systems We Offer

  • Padlocks

A simple and cost-effective way to secure container doors for everyday use. Available in high-strength outdoor grades for construction sites and general storage.

  • Lock Boxes

Welded directly to the container doors to shield padlocks from bolt cutters. This makes forced entry significantly more difficult and protects the lock from weather exposure.

  • Crossbar Locks

A removable steel locking arm that clamps across both door handles. It prevents prying attacks and adds a robust second security layer.

  • Cargo Lock Bars

Full-length bars that secure both doors together during storage or transit. Ideal for transport or high-risk zones where extra pressure resistance is required.

  • Bolt Seals

Tamper-evident seals are commonly used for freight and cross-border shipping. They make unauthorized access immediately visible during inspections.

  • Smart Access & GPS Upgrades

Smartphone-based NFC entry systems and GPS tracking allow remote control and logging. Audit trails provide insight into when and by whom the container was accessed.
