Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk.

To open, push Lid Snap Lock

forward and lift as shown.

Keep pressure on the Lid

Snap so it does not fly open

quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once they go over center, so have a firm grip on

the lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time. .
