Best Critter Proof Trash can lid Lock, True Auto-Release During Collection Process, Protect Against Animals Like Raccoons, Opossum or Wind, Easy to Install, Always Holds lids Locked.

Works like a charm! Keeps the lid closed until the garbage man arrives to empty the can and then recloses afterwards. So far no critters have gotten it open.

The media could not be loaded. This product is not what you want if you want to lock down your can and don’t have to worry about the truck dumping it. It is EXACTLY what you need if you change garbage service that has a one ma truck and they don’t want to take locks off your can. It works perfectly.For 6 days a week, if you add a simple bungee, as noted in my pics, the gravity open will not work and it’s secure if something knocks the can over. On garbage day, remove the bungee and you still have protection from critters. I adjusted mine so it’s tight but still has clearance to gravity open. Well worth the $20. Not 100% critter proof but a great compromise that will offer critter protection and allow your can to be dumped properly.

Received opened package and critical dimensions and sizing aren’t appropriately conveyed in description or instructions. The sizing doesn’t fit all trashcans described and the critical distance between lid top and where the system grabs a ledge on the can is not described. You have to try to install before you truly know if it is going to fit your can.

I had to drill 2 holes to adjust the lip so the lid can lock, it is well designed

In the first pic you can see that the lid is secured by the latch; in the second pic you can see that the latch disengages automatically when the bin is tilted forward. Yesterday was garbage day and it worked great. This will help not only with critters but with high winds.

I haven’t seen anymore critters in my trash!!

Functionally great , and good quality. Easy to install. Value for money. Keeps all critters out.

Bin clip and its auto release function works good. Great product!
