The Guard Lock – A metal truck seal for sealing trailers, wagons, rail cars

Innovation has been a core value of TydenBrooks ever since we began as E.J. Brooks Company back in 1873. The very first major innovation was made by Mr. E. J. Brooks himself when decided to shift from lead toy production to producing lead and wire security seals. Since that decision over 150 years ago, TydenBrooks has grown from a small family-run business to the global leader in security seals and tamper-evident products.

Innovation continues to be a core value of our business. Our quality control and research and development team work continuously around the clock to improve our product range. We wanted to make you aware of a product improvement to our Guard Lock metal seal. The improvement to the Guard Lock has increased the user-friendliness and increased tamper evidence of the seal.

Our engineers have introduced a two-click locking feature that indicates to the user they have correctly locked the seal. Each click makes a positive ‘click sound’ that can be heard once the seal strap is inserted completely into the seal body. The first click (Figure 1) indicates the seal has been properly engaged.[vc_single_image image=”11296″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” title=”Fig 1″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]The innovation comes in when the user ‘pulls’ back on the strap until the second ‘clicking’ sound is heard. The second click tells the user the seal has been properly locked (Figure 2) and prevents picking or compromising the seal. Any attempt to tamper with the seal will scratch the surface of the seal indicating the seal has been tampered with.[vc_single_image image=”11297″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” title=”Fig 2″]
