Abstract
An improved internal component lock for storage containers is disclosed which comprises a body having a hasp space, a keyway and a retaining space. The hasp space, the keyway and a retaining space are joined within said body. The keyway has a locking mechanism contained therein. The locking mechanism actuates a shackle which is adapted to slidably extend from the locking mechanism across the hasp space to the retaining space when the locking mechanism is in the locked position. The shackle engages a hasp extending into the hasp space in the locked position while being retained within locking mechanism in the unlocked position. At least two retaining pins have a shaped upper edge adapted to deter drilling and are vertically mounted on either side of the retaining space to retain the shackle therewithin when in the locked position.
