only when there is something in the way, or the lever was a tiny bit down before I even put the lid down. 99.9% of the time they are smooth as butter.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe they really really need to be all the way open before trying to close.

I'll give that a good test tonight.

Thanks again guys. This forum is sweet.

I push down on the lid and the lever goes downward a little on it own, that's when I know it's all lined up and a gentle push to latch.

As everyone else noted...only when I've stuffed them to full and have to clear it out of the way.
