This is a great trash can. Quality item. Pet lock is no problem, just don't engage it if not needed. It is roomy inside but fits a 13 gallon bag. More space than my previous trash can. I like that roominess.  Looks really good. I didn't think I'd ever pay this much for a trash can, but it's worth it. Really nice. No assembly needed. Just took it out of the box. Excellent.
