ways i can secure lid
213268
I have had no problem with the lid coming off. If you snap it in place, it is very secure. Even the squirrels haven't been able to take the lid off.

the lid has only come off of mine one time and I think it was my own fault for not making sure it was securely pushed down but I am thinking that if it is a concern maybe a piece of duct tape that you replace each time you refill the ball.

I haven't had this problem but wiht the wire mesh, you could run a wire around the mesh and to the hanger on each side. I think that would keep a crafty squirrel out!

I haven't had a problem with the lid coming off. You need to push it untill you feel the 'click' engaging. Maybe stretch out a couple of paperclips, clip one end through loop on top and other through the mesh?

i just used some utility/bread ties like this...Buffalo Tools TT100 100' Twist Tie with Cutterand also an old mini blinds hook I found lying around. You can use a "hook latch" also. They sell them in here or at any hardware store. They're very cheap. Something similar to this...Stanley Hardware S750-490 SAFETY GATE HOOK & EYE 2" - ZINC PLATED CD/3just remove the small eyelet screw and loop the bread tie through the hook latch and secure it to the other side of the feeder cover over the lid. I posted some pics of how I did it. On the cheap, you could also just use a heavy duty "paper clip" for the hook part. Super simple and cheap. Someone in here also mentioned removing the "chain" part of the feeder and using it to secure the lid...also with a type of "hook latch". i just used some utility/bread ties like this...Buffalo Tools TT100 100' Twist Tie with Cutterand also an old mini blinds hook I found lying around.

I'm not quite sure what your question is, but if you are asking if the lid is secure, yes it is. It stays on very well. I have yet to have a squirrel on it or have any critter open it. Hope that answers your question. Thank you.

Hi- Instead of hanging the seed ball by the S hook, I hang it by the "handle", the thing that looks like an upside down goal post. I then thread the S hook through the small, circular tab on the lid, then I thread the S hook through one of the very small circles at the bottom of the "handle" or goal posts, finally securing the tip of the S hook into one of the holes in the actual feeder or ball. This has worked without fail, as I have seen squirrels try to get into the feeder, even knocking it to the ground but the lid has always stayed secure. Hope this helps you.

This box has multiple ways to secure it both locking the lid and the box in place (there is a clip on the back of the box that you can secure it with or secure it to the Tough System dolly)

The lid locks into place by twisting and I have found it secure when draining the pasta.

The metal lid snaps on and is pretty secure. My hands have mild arthritis and I am still able to remove the lid. I place the pan on the counter with the curved handle away from myself. I then lift the handle while keeping the blunt end of the pan against myself for leverage.

The lid itself is very secure. However, I noticed that over time the mouth piece would not stay down securely and I could see an unsecured mouth piece on this bottle being jostled about in a bag as a potential leak hazard.

I have had no problem with securing the lid. After filled with seeds just pinch the lock and slid onto the feed top, then release the lock. This has been a great feeder, still in tact after two years.

The lid does come off completely and then velcros on both sides tightly with a round piece of velcro. It's very secure.

There are strong bungee cords that hold the lid tight. We have "wild cats" and so far no problems.

I have used a rubber band and wrapped with aluminum foil. The tops definitely arent secure enough!

Slide the top part across and position the two silver knobs on the lid, snap the top part back in place to lock the lid and remove.

Yes, just drill a hole through the lid. There's no provision for locking the rotation, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

Because the item arrived broken and I had to return it I am not sure, but Raccoons are innovative and most likely are able to open the lid. You may consider a metal container with an airtight lid, clamps.

There is a soft rubber seal around the lid which if tightened ought to prevent moisture getting in/out. I have not tested this however, it is just m impression from inspecting the container.

Even though that is not how I store mine the lids are very secure when attached and turned the proper way.

Adding a large 'document clip' along the side edge near the front keeps the lid on more tightly.

There are companies that make a wrench to fit the lid which creates equal pressure allowing easy opening (~27 bucks). I made mine with a jigsaw and a piece of plywood, tracing the lid notches...not pretty but works great.

There are small protrusions on the lip of the lid so that it doesn't fall off. You cock the lid to the side to raise and remove it.
