I am not strong, and I cannot easily close my Ozeri rectangular food storage container. The lid does not fit down on the 4th side. Who knows a fix?

I have also had this problem. Otherwise, I love the product. Perhaps, the manufacturer can answer this question.

I Find if you leave the vent top open it seems to close easier than when it is down but I too notice the same issue. I hope this helps

I've tried putting my own labels on the SIDE of these containers too, and have failed because of the slight taper, you can't get a regular square or rectangle to fit on the SIDE. I also have this question- where can you find TAPERED ice cream labels for the side, rather than just small square freezer labels for the top?

The lid fit on these jars is hit or miss. I have two and one is airtight, and the other is problematic. Something like cookies you may be OK with though

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

Well, you need to put significant force to open it. I have that problem too. Now I just don't close it tight so it can be easily opened.

It doesn't fit in mine. I had measured the holder and I thought the dish would fit, but because the lid is so tall and the door of the butter holder is angled at the top, the door won't close over the dish. I had only measured the depth of the holder at the bottom; I hadn't realized it needed to be just as deep at the top.

It is too big; have you considered using metal tongs, even taking them apart (mine detach) and using one side? Might be the solution you are looking for. Good Luck-

I had mine for one day, the lid locked up so I ended up returning with $50 worth of food in it. I hope you have a better lock than I. Otherwise, toss it, don't waste your good money on buying a part that's half the cost of unit.

I've had some problems with the quart jar sealer. I've tried using two lids but that doesn't work well either. I would appreciate someone telling me what to do.

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.

If I remember correctly it's locked with the little silver bit on the front of the lid. Pull that bit out til the edge is flush with the rest of the lid. Hope it works/helps!

I used the small blade of my pocket knife to push the lid upwards on one side, then push upwards on the other side. After several triesl I had worked the lid up about 1/8" inch, then I could twist it off. When you close it don't push it down all the way, then you can twist it off easily.

I have had problems with the compartment lid closing and have to reposition it "just so" or it won't close.

Hmmm...I wonder if your lids are unusually thick or oddly shaped. Have you put them in as the photo indicates, with the smallest on the bottom and getting larger as they go up? Are you able to post a photo of your predicament?

We had this same issue when we had a cover on the lid part. It would not let it open far enough to stay up.

You are correct, I have the same problem. It would seem that the lids don't exactly fit the bottom, as it's difficult to line them up to snap it down.

My only suggestion would be to make sure you are pushing the little tab on the lid in before it locks. I nearly broke it trying to force it. Other than that, I don't know.
