ABSTRACT:
A portable secure container or keysafe is provided which employs a conventional combination padlock with a permanently attached U-shaped shackle. The padlock serves as both the locking mechanism and closure for the container. The padlock is inserted into a sleeve extending from the container which slidably receives the lock. The mechanism to operate the lock is located in the same opening which receives the lock. The sleeve has a hole to receive the free end of the padlock shackle and a slot which receives the permanently attached end. The slot can be "L" shaped to allow a circular padlock to be rotated within a circular sleeve a limited distance to align the free end of the shackle with a hole in the sleeve. The container can also be secured to a permanent structure by the shackle of the padlock.
