Does the lid HAVE to get locked/unlocked every time you put it on and take it off? Or is locking the lid on optional?

I believe it should be locked on each time but I don't suppose you would have to lock it. I like that feature as it provides a good seal to keep heat in.

It is my understanding locking the lid is an option. It's good for carrying the pot to another location.

it's an option to be used when you are carrying the crockpot to another location, especially when in your car so that if it turns over, the contents will not spill and make a great big mess......

It needs to be clamped down when the crock pot is powered on or when transporting but not during serving.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

The lid doesn't have a separate attaching mechanism, but it stays on very securely as soon as you close it. In the few months I've been using this pitcher, it has never fallen off while pouring, even when I'm down to the last few drops.

No it does not lock, lid sits down into pot about an inch. I do like the pot a lot though

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

It has a keyed lock built inside the lid! It is somewhat a secure locking lid! Like almost anything else it a person has the right tools and enough time it can be broken into! But it seems to be safe from a child anyway!

It is removable but not an easy click..you need to remove a piece of screw at the back if you really have to take the lid apart.

No, the lid does not lock. But you could put one of these child proof locks on it? Munchkin Xtraguard Dual Action Multi Use Latches, 2 Count

It's got a "bayonet" lock. The type where you twist is slightly to lock it. It doesn't work real well, but having the lid come off has never been a problem.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

The lid pulls off. It fits firmly and pulls off easily. I love it. there is a tight seal yet I can pull off the lid with arthritic hands.

It auto-locks, so there is no need to lock from the inside. It has an always-open mode if you want it to stay unlocked.

Not a locking lid. But I use this thing everyday. Best piece of cookery I have.

Nope, its pretty snug when you place it in, but also easy to remove with your fingers. The lid is externally threaded and this sits in the inside, so the lid is able to screw down all the way with no issues. I hope this helps!

no you do not have to take the lid off, it is like a tervis with a sliding sippy cup hole

Mine stays back no problem. I see what others were talking about in terms of the lid needing to go back a certain distance before it locks in place, but it can lock itself back without assistance nearly every time for me. I definitely never have to hold it open manually; the spring has always supported it just fine on its own. Its kind of like an umbrella. It's kinda loose until you pass the latch point and then it stays open on its own.
