Security - Is that lock enough?
The next statement may surprise you:

The sole purpose of a lock on a shipping case is to prevent someone from gaining access to the case during transit without visibly damaging the case.

If a case is stolen . . . all the cables, chains, rods and padlocks in the world are of no use. Once it's in his basement, a thief will get into the case even if he has to destroy it. He has power tools there and we know he's motivated. (He's already risked getting caught in act of stealing your case.)

Customers have also notified us that they have had guns taken from cases even though they were equipped with security devices such as rods and padlocks. The thieves evidently removed the rod from the spine hinge (never touching the padlocks or latches) and were able to replace it when they were done. They took the guns, replaced them with a few pounds of bricks (so the weight of the rifles would not be missed). Because the case looked OK, the owner never suspected that there was a problem until he got to his destination.

Many people are dazzled by the array of locks that some cases come with. In a shipping case, this is actually a liability. The more obvious a lock is, the more obvious the case's value will be. A heavily padlocked case has an implied value that is very enticing to thieves.

The Tuffpak's® lock is subtle, yet it effectively prevents all access to the case unless the case is destroyed. The lock is a tubular style steel and brass key lock. (Similar to what is used in vending machines.) It is fitted with a slip collar that prevents someone from just grabbing the barrel with pliers and twisting it. It cannot be defeated without visibly damaging the case.

The Tuffpak's® locking system does everything a shipping case lock should do while not drawing any unnecessary attention to the case.

Effective - Reliable - Discreet
