# Lock Base Body -Container Parts
Container lock base bodies are structural components that form the housing for the complete lock mechanism. They require consistent bore dimensions for cylinder insertion, adequate wall strength to resist forced-entry loads, and a surface finish compatible with corrosion-protective coatings in outdoor and industrial environments.
KastMfg produces container lock base bodies in Zamak 5 zinc alloy, selected for its combination of higher tensile strength (331 MPa), good impact resistance (65 J Charpy unnotched), and suitability for electroplating. Hot-chamber die casting delivers CT4-CT6 tolerances on all functional features as-cast, with cylinder bore and key slot dimensions confirmed against drawing on the CMM at first article.
