Does the lid have to be held open while filing papers?

It does but I suspect that this is because it's still quite new and the lid is still stiff. Once I really break it in I think it will be able to stay open on its own. Overall it's a lovely piece and quite useful. I highly recommend it.

The lid is made from heavy cardboard. I think it will eventually be able to remain open after it is bent back frequently. BTW it is a really beautiful item. Even better than its photo.

Yes it does, on the back of the regular file and it's on the outside too. You don't have to open the whole thing to get to it.

Neither of the drawers lock individually. There is a lock that prevents you from opening the top drawer when the bottom drawer is open to preventthe file from tipping.

Yes it automatically stays shut when you close. Does not come open until you pull it apart. I am very please with this cover

Just a loose flap. As the paper is used, the lid slips into deeper angles. It is designed only to tear the paper.

Not with the lid on! I have some 40 inch paper in mine, but I just keep the lid off

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

No - you remove the lids and scoop. I like them - easy to open & close. And they stay closed...

The lid stays open slightly and requires you to fool the lid closure switch, I used a small piece of paper folded to wedged into to hole

Yes. when closed and you un- latch to open it open automatic. So when closing you have to push down on lid to close. In other words the lid wont fall shut by its self you have to push down on the lid to close.

Yes, you can use hanging folders but then you wouldn't be able to use the lid.

Yes, there is a small lever that keeps lid open, nice feature for removing or adding bag.interior can may also be removed, highly recommend this trash can

it is a bit tight. If the drawer was full it would be difficult. If there is space to tilt the file a bit it works fine.

It doesn't really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.

Yes. The paper is to seal the canister before use. When removed, the pink lid is then placed back to keep the granules in place.

Yes, it has a little lever under the lid to hold it open. Another feature you will like is that it does not skid when the foot lever is depressed.

Yes, under the lid, on the right side, there is a red switch you slide to keep the lid in the open position.
