These features can be installed both inside and outside the container to make it harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be fitted with an additional high-security lock. The lock locks the door and prevents anyone else from opening it. The lock can also be protected by a locking box which increases security by blocking tampering. A crossbar lock system can be added to the doors of the container and makes it more difficult to open them open.

Conceived and constructed in collaboration with local engineers the ballistic shipping containers offered workers a safe place that could be easily accessed from their work stations. The containers also made it easy to access emergency supplies. The containers were made of top-quality Corten Steel, which is known for its toughness.
