ABSTRACT:
A cargo container door lock assembly including a resiliently biased door locking member movable between locked and unlocked conditions and adapted to be mounted to an interior surface of a cargo door on a cargo container including a rigid door frame. The door frame defines an opening configured to receive and accommodate a portion of the door locking member when the cargo container door is moved into a closed position. The opening in the door frame has a closed margin which interengages with the door locking member, when the cargo door is moved to a closed position, to prevent movement of the cargo door toward an open position. With the cargo container door in the closed position, the resiliently biased door locking member is accessible to being moved into an unlocked condition, thus allowing said cargo door to be moved to the open position, only from an underside of the door locking member. As such, and when the cargo container is placed on the ground or on a railcar, access to the door locking member is prevented and the door cannot be opened using normal door opening procedures.
