Review on Rubbermaid ActionPacker 35 Gal: Lockable Storage Bin for Industrial Use – Rugged Container with Lid by Grant Galloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Two locks are required on both sides for attachment.

I bought 4 of these because they are strong enough and weather resistant to seal and don't have the sharp edges of cheap trash cans to cut yourself with when carrying them. A 1/4 inch padlock shackle will work for them. IMPORTANT: Do not buy long shackle locks as only a short shackle will do. (Long arms won't fit through the red clips on the lid.) I recommend the stainless steel Master Lock shackle for them. with 3/4" (19mm) shackle. (They are available from Revain in four packs for a good price.) However, if you want more than 2 containers to be "with the same key", go to Home Depot to buy more with the same key codes.Remember you will need to budget for 2 locks.for the bin.They are not cheap but if you are going to be exposing the bins to moisture,camping or the weather they are the way to go. They're weatherproof but not submersible (like the Pelican brand case.) The only downside to these containers is that they can be stacked on top of one another in place, but they're too slippery on top of each other to be handled by three or four people on a cart No matter what, they're the best out there and I like that they're not clear on privacy and security issues.
