Why It Doesn’t Pay to Save on Your Container Lock – and Why Class 5 Is Really an Insurance Decision

Many containers are locked.
But not all are properly secured.

In practice, we often see:

• security class too low

• padlocks that don’t fit the lock box correctly

• solutions that do not meet insurance requirements

The result?
Break-ins – and in the worst case, no insurance coverage.

This Is Not Just Buying a Lock. It’s Buying Insurance Coverage

When you choose a Class 5 lock, you’re not paying for “unbreakable.”
You’re paying to:

• meet your insurance company’s requirements

• ensure eligibility for compensation

• reduce the financial risk in case of burglary

A higher security class is, in reality, a financial decision – not just a technical one.

What Options Do We Offer?

At 👉 https://specialcontainer.dk/en/produkt-kategori/locks/ we offer:

🔐 Fixed-mounted lock – Class 5
A permanent solution mounted directly on the container
Suitable for high-risk areas and high-value contents

🔐 Quick-mount lock – Class 5
A flexible solution when mobility is needed
Ideal for construction sites and temporary locations

🔐 Padlocks for lock boxes – Class 2, 3 and 4
For lower risk levels
Designed for standard lock boxes

When Should You Choose Class 5?

Choose Class 5 if:

• you store valuable equipment

• the container is placed on a construction site

• the area is not fenced or monitored

• your insurance policy requires it

In many cases, a high security class is a condition for full compensation.

The Cheapest Solution Can Become the Most Expensive

The price difference between lower classes and Class 5 is limited.
The difference in case of denied insurance coverage is not.

So the real question isn’t:
“Should I buy a more expensive lock?”

The real question is:
“Can I afford to be without insurance coverage?”
