My lid is really, really hard to turn. What can I do to make it easier?

Put a dab of oil on your finger and rub it around the rim of the lid and you have your problem solved. Don´t put too much oil so that the lid will not come loose.

I've ordered 4 of these pill containers, and they are all easy to open. You could try using something like Vaseline to rub on the lid and/or container at the top. Perhaps you should return this for a replacement.

This does work!! Take lid off, then spray a paper towel with cooking spray, wipe around lid and top of bottle, place back on and this will keep the lid turning easily for quite some time!!!!

I do not have that problem. You may want to try rubbing candle wax around the edges, using an unlit candle.

That's a bit odd, we have had no trouble latching the lid. Are you sure you are seating the lid properly; if so, then, as inlikely as it may be, perhaps the lid is misshaped or the latch deffective.

That happens when the lid gets misplaced... try rotating the lid... works for me..

Push down. If you want it to turn you have to purchase the John & Jennie's Gamma Seal Lids.THANKS!

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

Its a little tricky. You have to close the lid and flip it over. And there is a little tab you have to slide over. It helps if you have a pen or screw driver to put in the tab, to help slide it over.

Hmmm. I have had to use a screw driver as well, but with success. So, my only advice is to try again with the screw driver because the lid is very tight. Good luck.

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

We've never had any trouble getting the lid off ours, but I suppose that if it's a tight fit a thumb nail between the "tab" at the back (opposite the holes in the lid) and the plastic "rim" should loosen it.

I find it very difficult too, but have found that by putting the container in the sink, so it is lower than when on the counter, it is easier to get the lid on and off. I also use both thumbs to push it down. Other than that, it is difficult, but there sure are never any leaks!

There's a slight click when you turn them to the open or closed setting. It seems like it's gotten just slightly harder to open them as I use them more. But that could just be the result of holding with one hand and trying to open with the other (non-dominant) hand, without putting the pitcher down first. Instead of turning, you can also fairly easily lift the lid out, move it to the open position and then put the lid back in. That's usually what I do now.

I was struggling too. And then my boyfriend just banged it on, it just pushes on in two places. I thought it might break, but it didn't. He used his body weight and just pushed down really hard. It works very well and looks nice, I like it. But yeah, you have to sort of have to give a big push to get the lid to snap on in the first place.

Slide thumbnail under one side of the lid, push up, lift, then repeat on opposite side. Repeat all around. It's a little tricky and annoying at first but not too bad.

Thanks much for the tip. I'll give it a try. I too am not too concerned about the inside of the lid.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

My only answer would be to try lubricating the hinge pin so it turns more freely.

Try using one of those rubber jar lid openers. It is hard to get the hang of it. It really does work! Good luck.
