Just how hard is it to open/close?

It is not difficult to open or close. Have had this for well over a year and still satisfied.

It's a bit stiff, which is good because then you don't need to worry about it closing on you, but I got used to opening it fairly quickly.

They can be hard to open the first few times around. I think it took me about 10 minutes. I think the little tab that you're supposed to press in is useless. I usually ion them without even trying to press it in. Pressing it in makes it harder to get a good grip on the big release tab.

Mine is a bit tough to open, too. Just make sure you don't have the brown tabs in the "lock" position.

It is not hard to open, I can open it with one hand while holding the baby. My 8 years old has no problems either. Hope this helps.

When I got this it was really hard to open too. All I did was twist but took a lot of effort.

I haven't had problems opening or closing. Id say as long as the door latches its secure but it can be adjusted to your liking

I think its easy - but not so easy that my toddler can figure it out. You have to slide a button and lift the gate to swing it open. It swings in both directions, which is nice. To close it, you just have to lift the gate and lower it just right over the latch so it clicks. Occasionally there's some maneuvering to get it closed because of also needing to line up a piece of plastic on the bottom of the gate with the bar across the gate opening, but nothing that has every annoyed me in the slightest.

It's much easier than others I've tried. You push 2 buttons to open. But the baby definitely cannot open it. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to close because you have to line up the bottom just right, but it really is no longer than a few seconds.

Hi Kathleen....ours closes very easily. Opening is a little harder. You have to pull up on the latch first.

it is not difficult to open. it slides open and you just have to be careful to open only one dose at a time.

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.

My wife and I both open it alone all the time. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's do-able. The only thing that really makes it a chore is that the legs will stick on the opposite side of where you are raising it. It's a little heavier than an EZ-UP too so it takes a little more muscle.

It is not hard, but it opens in an specific point. I use both hands, nonetheless I like that, because I am pretty sure it will not open in case it falls.

I have not had trouble. Others have said press real hard on lid, maybe with foot pressure and it should open

It's super difficult. I have to pry on one side and pull on the same corner of the case. It almost feels like you are at the point of breaking it.

I would pose this question to the manufacturer, in terms of "how difficult would it be to break into the Stack-On personal safe?". I can't answer this question because I haven't tried to break into one.
