Comments: I had two problems. One, I purchased the open compartment. You really lose a lot of interior volume due to the ribbing in the bottom and on the top, It makes it a strong box, but makes a fair amount of it unusable. Two, the latch has a problem. When you open, it tends to snap out of its retainer on one or both ends. Since it is on the bottom side of the latch, you can't see it, but when you go to close it, it does not want to latch. The Fix is to try to feel which end has slipped and get it pushed back into place. Often this requires holding the box so you can look at it from underneath to see the problem. I had this same problem on all four of the boxes I bought and on the single double deep version. I bought four of these plus the double deep and a number of similarly sized Plano boxes. The Flambeau boxes are basically going on the shelf and I have ordered more Plano boxes.
