Reliable Locking Solutions for Outdoor Storage

Resolving Outdoor Challenges with Metrol Springs

A customer experienced issues with their outdoor storage boxes that had locks pre-installed. They used the boxes differently than intended by mounting them on their bottom instead of the side, causing water to leak through the locks. Due to their design, the lock had an indentation, allowing water to build-up. The locks, not suitable for outdoor use, posed a potential risk to the stored items. The purpose of these storage boxes is to transport tools in the field. This can be located at the front of the tractor for convenient transportation.  Ensuring the safety of tools and equipment is a top priority for our customers, especially when working in the field. It's crucial to have a reliable locking mechanism in place to protect their valuable tools during fieldwork.
