Abstract: A lock is described which is adapted for use in combination with a conventional latching handle assembly mounted on the bottom panel of a roll-up door mounted on a truck or the like. The lock includes a laterally movable dead bolt which, when locked, is in the pivotal path of the latching handle assembly thereby preventing the latching handle assembly from being moved to its unlocked position. A counter is also associated with the lock which visually indicates the number of times that the lock has been actuated.
