Thank you for your inquiry.We are not sure what you mean by self closing.The lid is hinge an you open and close it like an other mailbox lid.It can be opened all of the way and stay open as an option.Under the top lid is a locking lid which you can remove or choose to use or not.

This product doesn't have self-closing hinges. If you leave the lid upright, it will lean against the wall and won't close by itself. If you leave the lid not upright, it will slam shut and won't close softly.

The lid is not self-closing in the same way most cabinet doors are (with the soft-close hinge); but, it is heavy enough that it will stay closed unless someone intentionally opens it.

The lid does not slam shut if left in the upright position. As the lid gets closer to the closed position gravity will bring it down but not slam it shut.

Yes, it closes tightly, strong to sit on, stays shut. Only problem is the system that holds the lid in the back is weak and breaks easily. It is only screws that feel weak and rust.

Don't purchase, the purpose of the lid is for closing...I love this feature..... perhaps you need to purchase a trash can with no lid....

The lid does not rattle. It has a rubber gromet around it that keeps it snug.

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.

No. The lid does not seal, it is loose. My one complaint. Otherwise they are nice.

It is, we bought this for our mother. Please note, it's very small and cheaply made. We were surprised when we got it. Mother's not that happy w/it. Says the lid is hard to get off for filling. Wouldn't buy another.

Yes. Mine closes well. I guess you need to ensure yhe back cover is properly closed.

It is a tight fit, but the lid does close. If you are nervous about using force I would not get it

It is necessary to open the lid. I have removed mine because my use does not require transport ..

It is not self closing/latchhing. What I have done is to attach a bunge cord to it to make it self closing.

Yes. when closed and you un- latch to open it open automatic. So when closing you have to push down on lid to close. In other words the lid wont fall shut by its self you have to push down on the lid to close.

Mine does not close completely. There is a noticeable gap between the movable part and the screw-on part of the lid. When it is in the 'closed' position there is still salt leaking out when I shake.

Yes, but it's tricky and you need to figure out how to do it so the lid will close correctly.
