Has anyone else had problem with the front part of lid bending in, preventing snug closure? Thanks

Not a problem for me. Was your product damaged in shipping? Mine is just perfect.

I have not had this particular issue. I have been using this trash can on a daily basis for almost a year.

It does fit very tight but so far with enough wiggling and twisting I have been able to get it off - so all I can say is keep trying. I try really hard not to push down too much when I put the lid on to keep this from happening.

The 1st time I used it I got it to shut, but haven't been able to get it to shut again. I found that I wasn't shutting the lid down completely. After I realized what I was doing wrong, it works GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't had that problem. It was a tight squeeze but I did get it on..but the company has excellent customer service. If you are having a problem contact them and I'm sure they will fix it for you.. for free.

It worked for me. I put a little Vaseline on the o-ring from time to time and it keeps it supple. The new lid sealed fine.

No I have not had this problem at all. I have three of these lids this one a ten and twelve inch. Use them quite a bit. Put them in the dish washer when I'm done.

This happens with ours sometimes too. I just unscrew the lid and retighten it, seems to help.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

Yes -- this is a real problem with this lid. Every once in a while I have to wait to have one of my sons get it off for me (it can take brute force).

I didn't have any problem with the lids not staying on. I ran my finger and thumb around the lid's edge and onto the container and it snapped into place. Hope that's helpful.

I didn't repair it. I emailed Progressive and explained the problem. They sent me a new lid no questions asked. I got great customer service.

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I am experiencing similar problems. When I try to close the lid, one side doesn't seem to line up correctly to close. At the first use, I had to push on the bottom handle and slightly pull the top of the handle just at the closing point to get the handle to lock. Then last night was the 3rd time using it (once a week now for only 3 weeks) and the handle would not close, then would not turn. The waffles steamed like crazy then after about a minute I tried to close the handle again and was able to lock it. I think this might have a Hinge problem as it seems a bit wiggly. Not sure if any other people have this same problem or not? I got mine just about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I am experiencing similar problems.

I don't recall having any problems attaching the lid...just followed instructions. Put 2 of them together without issues. On each box it seemed as if one side of the lid was a little warped because it didn't seem to close all the way, however, I have never had any water get into the boxes. Both boxes have been thru several seasons, heavy rain, snow, etc not one drop inside!

Haven't had that issue. Was tight opening so when I loosened the pivot screw was grinding against the liners on closing

I've noticed that one of the three we bought seems to get them but we haven't had a problem with the other two. I have no idea how they got in to the one since the lid appears to fit securely. I ended up just treating the one that I saw a problem in; I wouldn't bother if you haven't noticed any when you open the lid.
