Locks on Container Houses

There are various types of locks on container houses, commonly including horizontal twist locks, container lock assemblies (lock rods), and semi-automatic twist locks.

Horizontal Twist Locks: These are primarily used for the left-right connection or parallel-series connection of containers, with different specifications suitable for 10-foot and 20-foot containers, among others. The materials are guaranteed, and prices vary by brand and specification. For example, products from Tianjin Jinyu Bairun Machinery Accessories Co., Ltd. range in price from 350 yuan to 1,000 yuan. These locks ensure the stable connection of containers in the horizontal direction through specific connection methods, preventing displacement during transportation or use.

Container Lock Assemblies (Lock Rods): These typically include components such as lock heads, lock bases, brackets, bushings, door handles, and lock catches, with each set of door lock accessories having a relatively complex composition. Generally, each standard container requires 4 sets of container door lock accessories, and the price of lock rods is quoted separately based on the length required by the customer. These lock assemblies are mainly used for locking the doors of containers, ensuring the safety of the goods inside and preventing unauthorized opening.

Semi-Automatic Twist Locks: These are used for the upper-lower connection and fixation of containers, offering convenient operation and employing forging processes. The materials are mostly cast steel and can be customized. Prices vary according to the order quantity. For example, products from Tianjin Taideli Machinery Accessories Co., Ltd. are priced at 110 yuan for an order quantity of 100-199 and 100 yuan for an order quantity of 200 or more. Semi-automatic twist locks play a crucial role during transportation, preventing container shaking and misalignment, improving loading and unloading efficiency, and are particularly suitable for logistics scenarios with frequent turnover.

In addition, there are some special types of locks, such as combination padlocks that can be used for container door locks but are generally more suitable for smaller items like luggage; THT locks (single-corner locks) are installed at the four corners of skeleton trailers and fix containers through a rotating locking mechanism, ensuring transportation safety.
