can this be used without the box? Does the lid lock tight?

No, a hard pack or "flip top box" pack of cigs will not fit in this. As far as the lid locking tight.....it depends on what you define as tight. It is not air tight or water proof, but does close and keeps the cigs in place. I really like mine!!

Yes, it can be used to carry smokes without a box inside of it. And yes the lid locks tight. Works great

Yes, the lid does lock. I have used one for two years and I've never had a problem.

yes the lid closes tight....seems to stay shut it's a snug fit....no latch only friction.....seems very sturdy to sit on.

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

It is as long as the lid stays on. The lid overlaps the box so no water gets in unless the lid flies of in the wind. It is a great roomy box but the lid will fly off if there is nothing on top of it. It needs a latch, poor design but great box.

The lid is not water tight. If you're looking for water tight storage boxes, you might try Pelican brand storage containers.

it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.

The lid does "lock" in a way. But it is not airtight as it has vent holes in the back. It really is a nice breadbox, though, and it holds quite a bit.

The lid locks very securely shut. It will not pop open if it is latched, and you can hear the latch engage when closing it.

it does appear tight...just make sure you click the lid shut :) thats been my only concern if i forgot to

I think so. It's pretty much water tight but humidity would still be trapped in the box after closure. Desiccant would take care of that. keep in mind it's still a plastic box with a heavy duty rubber seal so it not infallible.

No the lid does not lock closed so if you tried to set it upright like that it would just fall open

No, the lid fits too tightly and there would be nothing to hold it open inside the bin if it was not out over the top

Yes, the box itself does lock as well do the two racks. In fact the box stays locked at all times. Therefore the key is always needed to open or close it.

Yes you must make sure the lock is off, then, turn the lid using the lid's plastic handles.

The handle does not lock the lid, but the lid is hinged and fits very tightly. It takes 2 hands to open it. If something is blowing the lid off of this thing, you have bigger problems going on that you need to worry about!

yes there is an lock on both sides, you just have to close the lid and both sides lock together
