Does the storage compartment seal shut? or does it have just a hinged lid that can be opened at any time?

It DOES NOT seal shut. No latch, no magnet, nothing. That is definitely a draw back on the box. Otherwise, it's great. I did not store ashes in it due to it lacking a solid locking mechanism, I just use it for trinkets now. Good quality box though.

It can be opened any time, which hasn't been a problem. My dog was around 40-45 lbs, and the compartment is large enough that it can fit his ashes, which are in a sealed container, and a few mementos. My children are little, and they like to occassionally "visit," which usually involves going through his mementos, which actually makes the opening a good thing. I do keep this high up in a display area where it is unlikely to get knocked over though, just to be on the safe side.

No specific latch. The lid sort of snaps down when you shut it. Not tightly, but it does appear to have a little bit of a lip that it slides past to keep it shut. It's easy to open when you use it, however. I've never had a problem with it opening in the wind or anything.

The lid is attached on a hinge... You can only open it by pressing on a button on top to fill it.

The lid stays open slightly and requires you to fool the lid closure switch, I used a small piece of paper folded to wedged into to hole

Yes, the lid has a lever on top that you rotate to the Open position to drink and the Closed position when you need it to be sealed.

When you press the lid down to close it, it latches automatically. Then to open it, there is a button you press down that releases it.

It has an inner seal under the lid. I don't remember if there was an outer seal.

It has a regular lid for a jar which is airtight. I have not repackaged mine and have had previous jars this size open for very long periods of time. It lasts just fine.

There is no latch. The top just closes down on the unit. It opens about a little past 90 degrees.

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

I don't quite know what you mean by "seal", but the lid "clicks" in there pretty tight. There are two openings (on the lid), but it can be twisted around to a side with no opening so nothing comes out of the spout. Hope that helps!

Hi,It is a permanent opening. There is not a lid or door that covers it. Thanks for the question.

The lid seals very tightly. You just have to muscle it open. It pops straight up.

It seals immediately upon closing the lid and turning it on. If not check the condition of the large rubber o-ring that forms the seal. keep the o-ring separate from the lid for storage

There is a hinge. That said its not a huge opening. We ended up taking the top off altogether. Also the handle edges are a bit sharp so if the hamper is super full it can be painful to carry.

Yes. The lid clamps down and seals easily. I have not opened it frequently and so do not know about the wear factors, that some other reviewers have mentioned.

It doesn't really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.
