I would prefer a threaded screw-on lid. How does this one close? Is the lid secure?

Good Question. It is NOT a threaded screw-on lid so the whole metal top does occasionally come off when I try to pull the plastic lid cover off.

notch system works securely with metal lid. The plastic cover just snaps over the top.

I have two of these and the lids are very secure, though they do not screw on. There is a slight bulge that catches the lid to help it stay on.

As long as you push the lid into groove, it stays on very tight. I am very pleased with mine. I got them about 6-7 months and had no problem.

It's not a threaded screw-on lid, but the lid slips into a notch and you make a small twist to secure it. I haven't used it yet but I just now checked and it seems secure to me.

Personally, I find it easy enough to open with just enough tightness so the lid doesn't just slip around. The lid was never an issue for me.

Yes, the lid is closed. There is a small hole with a plastic rectangle that slides over it to keep it closed. It snaps in place and I have not had a problem with leakage. The inside is black plastic. I hope this helps you with your decision. I am satisfied with this purchase.

The lid screws on tightly. The lip you drink out of snaps. I carry it around in a bag...even when its full and it has never spilled.

The inner screw cap can be left out while driving ad the main lid can be out on fairly easily. It's definitely not as easy as a regular vacuum mug with a push button open/close lid.

Yes, the plastic/silicone seal is what secures the lid closed. Liquid will come in contact w/the seal if help upside-down.

I guess it is some type of spring clip. The metal piece where your thumb goes is super thin and will bend easily if the lid isn't on completely straight. As long as you have the lid on straight, it closes pretty easily.

Yes, the top does screw on tightly, but I haven't turned it upside down to check for leaks. And anyways, the lid needs to be loosened up a bit so that air can get into it, so that the liquid flows out easily. The spigot did leak a little at first, but stopped after I tightened it down a bit. It has worked great ever since. We like it very much! Hope this helps.

However...I slightly modified mine....it comes with Phillips head screws to fasten the cover...I took those bolts to the hardware store..got the same thread pitch in stainless steel and 1/2 in. I think...that way my lid is secured with bolts instead of screws.

It just fits tightly--no seal or fastener of any kind. It swivels by the little knob. It works just fine for me. You can't throw it around of course,but I've had no spillage or anything. :)

I don't know what you my locking insert. There is a magnet that holds the lid closed. You would have to drill holds to insert a locking insert, I would think, though I am not sure.

Just drop the lid down, press down and it auto-snaps shut. You can then also use the key to lock it.

This is a screw on lid & it is very secure & leak proof. Package directions state to remove/replace lid while in the "open" position.

Yes you screw the top on and it fits nice and tight. Is also has an open and close button on the top so nothing will spill out when you close the top, I have 3 or 4 of these and I love them.

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

The lid does come off completely and then velcros on both sides tightly with a round piece of velcro. It's very secure.

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.
