ABSTRACT:
A padlock-protecting lock system for use with a container having a movable closure. A shelf supports the padlock within the container such that only the key insertion end of the padlock is exposed for external access and a bracket having one or more depending legs is carried, such as by an arrangement of corresponding prongs and slots, by the supporting shelf and captures the shackle of the padlock. A tang is associated with the movable closure and is positionable within the shackle for capture by the padlock upon locking thereof, whereby the closure is maintained in its closed position.
