If you place the bin inside the cabinet and under the sink, does the lid stay closed or does it stay open for ever?

We have ours under a shelf, and it works fine. I think it reacts to movement, rather than something in proximity. We like ours very much.

Sorry. I don't have a the garbage can under a cabinet so I can't answer your question.

Yes, it stays tightly closed until you open it. I think the magnet keeps it closed--I'm not sure about that, but that's what it feel like.

The lid will stay open vertically if you tighten the bolts that hold it. The bags are easily to get to if the lid is open or closed - easier if open.

Yes. There is a little red switch on the inside that will keep the lid open.

I have 18 inches from the bottom of my upper cabinet to the countertop and it opens and closes fine. I do have to pull it out to refil the bin. I do not remove the bin however, I pour the water into a pitcher and pour into the bin.

The lid is not self-closing in the same way most cabinet doors are (with the soft-close hinge); but, it is heavy enough that it will stay closed unless someone intentionally opens it.

The bin lid is attached to the piece that slides off the top. The bin lid piece comes off so you can put your trash bag over the sides and it holds the trash bag in place. If it is not backed up against something the whole top piece flips off when the lid opens all the way. Could probably be fixed with a smaller flip top piece or a chain to keep it from opening past 90 degrees. It didn't make sense to me either until I saw it in action.

Yes. I just tried, and if the little black ends of the lid hinges are pushed, the top stays open! Hey! I didn't even know that! Glad you asked.

Yes, it stays open, but only all the way open. Once it starts to close it will fall shut. Laura N. is correct. It is very light weight. Lid would not cause bodily harm, but would startle small child. Kids learn so fast, should not be a problem.

I have my CD's stored in their cases in this cabinet. I do not use the cabinet for DVD's but I just put one in the cabinet and it fits long wise in the case and the drawer closes fine. Good Luck

There is no lid. It stays open. However, the rim is remove-able which makes it easier to line the inner bin with trash bag. Hope this helps.

Yes you can close the bin securely after opening it! There is room for a few small items

If you open the lid fully until you feel it click it will stay in that position. Kind of like how a car door has that open point where it won't swing shut.

The lids open when you step on the pedal at the base of the trash can so, as long as you are pressing on the pedal, the lids stay open.

It won't slide under my cabinet with the lid on because the frame of the cabinet is a couple inches lower than the underside. I put the lid on/off while it's under the cabinet and slide it back and forth with the lid off. Not a big deal. I hope that makes sense.

No. The lid closes fairly tightly. And it keeps items inside dry, as well. We've been very pleased with this deck box and even ordered another in a smaller size.

When the lid is closed it is held shut by a magnet. To open, slight force is required to overpower the magnet.
