Quick Release Lid Options 1

[Shawthing6927]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some inspiration.

Any ideas on what to use to make a quick release lid for a container like shown. (see attached).

I am looking to use something that doesn't require any tools. The lid needs to be removable from the box so a standard hinge and latch wouldn't work. I can add potentially add some 'cross bars' within the box to fasten to if required. It will be seating down onto a foam gasket. The seal itself isn't too important.

Many Thanks!!

Over-centre clasps riveted to each side of the box and the catches riveted to the lid.

Not sure why I cant attached an image...... something like this :

I've had issues with attaching images lately as well.

So how about the OP respond with rational why the recommended solutions will not work?

Have a look into the Dzus / Southco catalogue and Camloc 2600 series fasteners

Google "puzzle boxes" for some ideas. But don't, if the box contains life saving equipment...
