    $259 is not that much when a broken seal by some ####### who has a vendetta against your company screws with you. Or someone who knows what you carry looking for an easy score. Think about what you will go through if you have a $250k load and arrive seal not intact. 19 years ive never had it happen but worry about it about all the time.


    Abloy locks are not "easily broken". Only way to get one off without the key is to cut it off. {that I know of}

    A Lock is to keep an honest man honest. If someone really wants inside they will find a way.

    Id like to see one like pictured in OP for sale as it has an internal lock it seems.

    That's a fair point, but the one in the picture isn't exactly the image of comfort, when it comes to locks. Looks like the lock my sister keeps on her diary!
    I'd just as soon not worry my pretty head, over it.

    Most doors , taking out 5 pins can be opened from the hinge side. If they want it bad enough , they will get it .

    If you worry so much after 19 years trouble free, have you bought one yet just to ease your mind a bit?

    The point of a seal cover would not be to secure the load but to secure the integrity of the seal. If someone REALLY wanted what was inside they will find a way.



    Thanks to those who replied to my original questions.
