Lid Latch, Easy-to-Install Trash Can Latch/Lock, (Does NOT Include CART) Fits Cart Lids with or Without Handle, Trash Bin Lock in One-Piece Design, Made of TPU, Push Clip

Very simple product that works very well. Good, clear instructions help with the installation.

This actually works really well. It won’t be effective if your trash can is overloaded, but when it’s not, it functions great—and the garbage collectors can empty the can without even needing to remove the strap.

The template along with the item is useless, the instructions may not apply to your specific garbage can. There needs to be a very clear and detailed video for this, the video that I saw online did not mention or show how the bottom part of the latch should latch on, and how different garbage cans can vary in that specific area.The bottom part that latches doesn’t latch properly if the bottom latching part of your garbage can doesn’t have a thin surface.I had to make multiple holes to try to get this to work. Now my garbage can looks horrible with the holes.I bought this to avoid having to buy new garbage cans due to the “NEW”. New York City law that requires your garbage can to have a latch or your required to buy there garbage cans.Since I ruined my existing garbage cans trying to install these now I have no choice but to buy 2 new garbage cans from NYC.

I was looking for a solution that is easier than using bungee cords to keep my lid shut, so the wind will not take it and blow everything everywhere. I found this company and this product and it could not be easier. Follow their instructions and draw the appropriate size hole in the piece. Just snapped right in and hold securely where I am. We are prone to a lot of wind and lids. The lids get knocked open all the time and trash blows around. This holds it quite well, and you don’t have to detach the latch on garbage day. It opens up on its own with the 2 to 3 pounds of pressure when the bin is upside down. And to the person who gave this a one star because this little piece of rubbery type plastic didn’t keep bears from opening your lids. Really???

It's as expected, and a perfect replacement for the one that was somehow lost, or stolen when my garbage bin was on the curb on trash day. The only con is the price, it's not worth the price, but with what it's going on economically everyone is going to over charge for everything. So keep that in mind.

live in the Wisconsin and installed this on my can. works well at temps above freezing. does not remain pliable below that temp. the stretchiness is lost and that is the whole way it works. disappointed.....

We have a auto loading truck that collects our trash and recycling. I was a little hesitant when I installed these (which was super easy) but I watched out the window as the truck grabbed the totes and dumped them. 2 weeks in a row and both released as promised. Meanwhile the wind did not blow the totes open and scatter recyclables all over the neighborhood. Mission accomplished. Highly recommended. A little prices for a strip of rubber but worth it.

Took less than a minute to install and easily latches and unlatches.My favorite feature is that it will unlatch automatically when dumped due to the weight of refuse in the bin.I had been using a strap that worked well to keep critters out of the bin but the night before trash pickup I would have to remove the strap so that the bin could be dumped. Critters frequently took advantage of this to enter the bin and make a mess.
