Improvements in and relating to shipping container locks
A release mechanism for a lock on an ISO shipping container, wherein the lock 40 comprises locking bars moveable by a locking handle 44 which is retained within a retainer catch 46. The retainer catch 46 is mounted on the release mechanism 60 which also comprises a mounting plate 50 which is secured to the door of the container via releasable fasteners 65 66 that can be undone from inside the container (RHS of Fig 5). The releasable fasteners may comprise four bolts 65 each with a wing nut 66. The mounting panel 50 may cover an aperture 90 in the door and seals 94 maybe provided on the rear of the panel. In use if someone becomes trapped inside the container they can release the wing nuts and then using handle 68 mounted on the panel move the panel and the release catch with locking handle into the unlocked position thus releasing the door and enabling their emergency escape.
