Cable Locks (please see the bottom of this page
for a video message)
Standard cable locks are used on rail cars and truck
trailer doors as they are flexible and easy to put done the
doors and then they are easy to cut at the other end. They
don't offer as much security as a bolt seal though so you
are trading security for simplicity. You have to always
think if it's easy for you to cut the security seal then
it's easy for an intruder to cut the seal. The costs of an
open trailer when it arrives at the border would be beyond
calculation. Is that worth it? Bolt seals have been used on
high value cargo - televisions or cigarettes - as they
provide security and they are very hard to tamper with.
Cable locks are more suited to use with trailer doors and
rail cars mainly because the containers are traveling
further plus the container will be opened by somebody on the
other end - not the driver of the truck. .
The cable lock is much easier to cut so it is the
security seal of choice for trucks as most drivers have to
cut the seal in order to get the truck unloaded when they
reach their destination. There is nothing worse for a driver
than to arrive at the unloading dock only to find that the
company doesn't have bolt cutter when there is a bolt
attached. We have heard that border guards smell that
carrying a bolt cutter in the truck defeats the intent of
the security seal because if someone breaks in then they can
easily use the tool to get into the load. They would
obviously choose if they tampering occurred with tools not
supplied by the trucker.
The cable lock has the adjustable loop and this helps it
to be set by the various size of loops that the trailer
doors and rail car doors have. The rail car doors
particularly have been used so much that only a cable seal
can be used as it is about impossible to get a bolt seal
through the doors. The rail cars take a beating as they
travel across North America.
Two sizes of cable locks are C TPAT approved and these
are the 3.5mm (1/8 inch) and 5mm (3/16 inch). The tensile
strength of a cable security seal has to be 10 KN to meet
the ISO17712 requirements of a high security seal and that
is what a 3.5mm cable normally is - between 10 KN and 13 KN
- and a 5mm is 16 KN to 20 KN. A bolt seal will be much
higher security - in the 35 KN range which is great high
security but again this comes at price as the bolt seal is
hard to cut.

The minimum cable diameter that used to pass the shear
test of ISO 17712 and C TPAT was the 5mm cable but
technology has immediately allowed the 3.5mm cable lock and
this must be the minimum of cable seal diameter to be
qualifying as a high security seal. The users of the cable
lock seals wanted them to be easier to remove and the
suppliers listened to their input and the 3.5mm (1/8 inch)
cable lock was born.
Cable locks of companies must be C TPAT (Customs-Trade
Partnership Against Terrorism) compliant in order to be used
as high security seals.
