ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism used to provide heightened security for storage containers. The locking mechanism uses a padlock to lock the doors, but unlike past inventions the padlock has only limited exposure to the outside of the storage container. This prevents thieves or vandals from being able to pry or break the lock open. Further, the essential components of the locking mechanism are all housed in a protective frame which prohibits tampering with the individual components of the door lock mechanism.
