The front doors are a bit flimsy but when you put the foot jam down and close the lid tightly it's secure...However the chains that lift the lid slip off all the time and eventually stopped working and I don't have them connected any longer. The plastic hook part bent making it impossible to keep the garage can lid attached. Good idea on the chain lift but bad execution. Also the size is just a bit too small for 2 trash cans from professional companies but you can put 2 smaller ones in there. Also it is too small for a push lawn mower...
