The T-Lock is a commercial waste container lock designed to provide secure, controlled access to trade waste and recycling containers. Developed by Egbert Taylor, its innovative push-to-lock mechanism allows authorised users to unlock the container with a dedicated key before simply pressing the lid closed to securely relock it, helping to improve operational efficiency in busy waste management environments.
Designed for demanding commercial applications, the T-Lock helps reduce unauthorised use, minimise contamination and support cleaner waste segregation. Its robust, low-maintenance construction makes it suitable for high-use waste container fleets across local authorities, retail parks, commercial premises and industrial sites.

Why Choose the T-Lock?
Open waste containers can lead to fly tipping, contamination of recyclable materials and unnecessary disposal costs. The T-Lock provides a simple but highly effective solution by ensuring containers remain securely locked until accessed by authorised personnel.
Unlike conventional locking systems, the T-Lock has been engineered to improve day-to-day operation. Once unlocked, the lid remains elevated, allowing waste collection crews and site operatives to clearly see that the container is ready for emptying. After collection, the lid can simply be pressed closed to automatically secure the container again, reducing handling time while maintaining security.
Compatible Containers
The T-Lock is compatible with Taylor Continental waste containers and Duraflex lids and can also be retrofitted to existing compatible container fleets, making it an ideal upgrade where improved security and controlled access are required.
