is it a locking close lid for a tight seal?

It should, but it doesn't latch very tight. It's a very weak latch and pops open easily.

No not a tight seal at all, very decorative but not good for anything you need air tight.

If you fill each cube to the top then it is not a tight seal...if you fill it 3/4 the way like it says then yes the seal is tight

It doesn't seal but it does fit tight. I use it to store cinnamon and sugar and it works great for that.

The lid fits tightly and seals well. No steam escapes unless you plan it that way by not seating the lid tightly.

Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch. With heavy-duty use, the latch could fail. However, I have replaced plastic hinges with metal hinges, using sheet metal screws into the plastic case of a similar cooler with good results. I suspect that using the same technique for a small metal latch would work just as well. Yes, it is sturdy enough to sit on. Furthermore, the insulation is superior! This really keeps things cold for a long time. Compared to other, cheaper coolers, this one is truly superior. This was a good purchase that I am very pleased with. I will be using this one for a very long time. Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch.

I would say yes, it's air tight. There is a rubber seal around the top and it snaps closed. (There is no doubt it is closed tight with the snap) I love mine and even though the contents is several months old, the product is staying fresh

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

The whole handle is a threaded lock. Turn the handle counter clockwise until it locks in the lowest position and the turn clockwise to make it a air tight seal.

Yes, you have to be sure and get the sealon, then screw the lid on tight. It works well for me.

Yes, there is a hole to the right of the latch that allows the lid to be locked to the bottom.

No, The button is like a locking mechanism that expands the seal to create the air tight sealing.

While I have not tested this myself, the can does have a rubber o-ring, and a clasp that seals the whole thing shut. The handle is secured to the top of the can by two alcoves that are on the exterior of the box. All in all, it is a good buy and should be considered watertight.

Yes it does. From what I remember, you'll still have to thread it good and snug for a water tight seal.

No it's a lever. First you put on one of 4 sizes of pads to get the best fit then just push the lever closed and the pad pushes slightly out making a tight seal. It's well designed and I had no trouble.

Yes it does and is tight. It does not leak as long as you don't hold it upside down. We've been using this kind for 12 years now and never had any leakage or spilling problems. Very happy with it.

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
