ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a locking mechanism for a container having a hinged or removable lid. The elements of the locking mechanism comprise a U-shaped securing member which is attached to the sidewalls of the container. The U-shaped member pivots over the lid, and is held in place by a lock mechanism. The locking mechanism may either fix the U-shaped securing element directly to a locking lug on the container sidewall, or may be attached to the locking lug via a securing strand element.
