Abstract
A lock for a container lid which comprises a retractable U-shaped handle secured for movement within apertures in a side of a container and a U-shaped handle which is fixed to the container lid. In closing of the container lid, the lid is closed with the fixed U-shaped handle straddling the retractable U-shaped handle in a retracted position. When the lid is in place, the retractable U-shaped handle is pulled outwardly and the retractable U-shaped handle is secured by some lock means to the U-shaped fixed handle. Thus, the container lid cannot be opened until the lock is removed.
