These lid clips are designed to keep lids from sliding off IKEA SAMLA storage boxes in the 5L, 11L, and 22L sizes. They feature a wedge mechanism that holds firmly in place when boxes are stacked, preventing lids from shifting during transport or storage.
Unlike IKEA's lid clips made for larger SAMLA boxes, these clips are specifically engineered for the smaller models. The design allows you to leave the clips attached to one side of the lid, so you can open and detach without removing them completely.
When stacking multiple boxes side-by-side, simply position the clips slightly offset to prevent interference. The wedge design ensures a secure grip without needing fasteners or adhesive.

What it is made of

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
