Abstract
A system for locking cargo containers. The container locking system comprises a lock housing comprising a box, a lock bar housing disposed behind the lock housing, a lock bar disposed within the lock bar housing, a staple attached to the lock bar, a slot disposed between the lock housing and the lock bar housing, and a lock. The staple translates and rotates as the lock bar translates and rotates. The staple may be disposed in the slot and accessed from an opening in the front of the lock housing. A shackle of the lock may be disposed through a hole in the staple, thus securing the system.
