Abstract
A lock for permanent attachment to a movable freight container cargo door as a replacement for a prior art hasp or a prior art keeper. The lock is configured for permanent attachment to the cargo door using pre-existing hole locations for the prior art hasp or keeper. The lock comprises a straight shackle and a c-shaped lock body and is configured to retain a door handle between the shackle and the back of the c-shaped lock body. The shackle is locked into the lock body using a shackle lock element that engages with a groove in the shackle. The shackle groove is perpendicular to the shaft of the shackle. The shackle lock element is pressed into the groove using by one or more springs in linear direction that is perpendicular to the length of the shackle and perpendicular to the groove, and released from the groove through by a lock module, which could be a lock cylinder or an electronic lock module. Axial movement of the shackle to prevent the shackle from being completely removed from the lock body is accomplished by a screw in the lock body that rides into a longitudinal slot in the shaft of the shackle.
