Thanks for all the help Guys
Toolstation were showing no stock anywhere of that one last night, perhaps somebody has cancelled.
I mentioned it to a neighbour this morning who is currently searching his garage for one he knows he has somewhere, but will probably reserve it if I don't hear from him in the next 1/2hr.
Anywhere next day delivery is now Wednesday, a day too late, and no, despite having my own welding gear the owner of the container i'm renting would not be happy with me welding it shut.
And thanks Terryall, but that £14 one really isn't anywhere near good enough.
I did think about motorcycle locks, but most have too bigger hasp to fit a container.
I was going to take one off one of my bikes and lock two of them together temporarily.
Halfords are sort of open. You go to the door and ask a sales assistant to go and get what you want.
But having scanned their website I couldn't find anything suitable that was in stock within 25miles.
Again, thanks for the help.

Pelyma, thanks for that Amazon link, it would probably have done the job, but I've managed to pick up one of these new in it's box from a local seller on Ebay for less than half the price advertised here:

Cant you weld it shut? Easy to remove with an angle grinder after the fact. We used to weld our armoured vehicles shut when moving by rail. b d Pikeys would cut through the padlocks every time.PAGODA
