I recently installed the SnatchLatch on my shipping container, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my peace of mind. The heavy-duty steel construction feels solid in your hands, and the powder coating gives it that extra durability against rust.
Installation was surprisingly simple - no tools needed! It took me about a minute to figure out the mechanism. The trick is to place your padlock over the bar inside first, then slide the whole unit onto the container handle. I used a Master Lock with a long shackle (about 3 inches), which worked perfectly.
What I love most is how it completely hides the lock from view. No more worrying about bolt cutters! While nothing is 100% burglar-proof, this makes breaking in so difficult that most thieves would move on to easier targets. During heavy rains, I noticed my lock stayed completely dry inside the SnatchLatch - no more frozen locks in winter!
The only minor drawback is that you need to get used to inserting your key blindly since the lock isn't visible when secured. But after a few tries, it becomes second nature.
Would I buy again? Absolutely! In fact, I already purchased a second one for my container's other door. For the price, it offers excellent protection and has held up perfectly through all weather conditions.
