How sturdy is the latch?

Just made pizziles today and they are delicious.....the latch keeps the top down tightly! Seems to be well made!

Seems quite sturdy to me. I have had no trouble with the latch. A friend has a very expensive model and it works just as well as hers.

Not sure. mine was 35ish and it was no problem. It is a pretty durable latch for the price. I would try it if my dog was bigger. Depends on what your purpose for it is i suppose. to keep dog from going out window? in seat? also are you hooking it to a coller or harness?

Seems sturdy to me. The handle comes off only when the release button on the sides are depressed.

I like it, thinking about getting another. There is a problem with the latch, but I just added some clamps.

Sorry, but I am unable to help you with a proper reponse. What I can say is that I would no longer recommend this item to anyone. After very little use, the latch broke and was/is of no use.

It is sturdy. I'm 200 lbs. and not even close to an issue. Welded steel is strong. I'm happy with mine.

My latch was fine. So, it not all of them that are flimsy. You should take it out of the box and check it out. I don't feel like it's worth the money. I bought it and kept it because my 3 year old grandson had looked forward to it for so long!

It depends on how young and how clever. It is a good latch but isn't a true lock. I would still recommended keeping the box put of reach to avoid temptation or getting a box that will lock with a key or padlock

Yes it's sturdy and shouldn't have a problem, though you might want to add a zip tie over the Velcro straps for extra safey

It is very sturdy. Like another reviewer, occasionally my two year old starts banging on it and pushing on it before I can get to him and it's never given the slightest indication that it will budge. Obviously I'd prefer to leave nothing to chance and avoid letting him do that but what can I say; he's quick!

There's not really a "Latch" - But there's a "Padded" thingy that's slightly Heavy, on the Top - Like a "Seat", & I haven't had any problems w/ it "Lifting Up" by itself - & it gets rather Windy here... The instructions could be better- Make sure you snap in the panels in the correct order, & the way they're supposed to go-! "Unsnapping" is Difficult-!

I believe it is sturdy enough. I find it difficult to push empty. Each wheel seems to want to go in a different direction, but I have not given it its first workout yet.

It's very sturdy. I've had mine for years. I bought one for my sister just recently.

Pretty sturdy. I have a very active male Bull Terrier which it holds up to.

It does not have a latch nor does it have any catch or other mechanism. It is a sturdy lid that you could put a brick or other heavier object of you wanted to ensure it would stay shut. Otherwise I think you would be OK with this, unless you are trying to keep bears out or something. =)

Stays open until latched. And I'll add that the latch mechanism is very secure.

Yes, it's fairly sturdy. I keep it on a shelf in a linen closet, but have moved it to countertops before.
