LidStop - The Smarter Wheelie Bin Gravity Lock
LidStop is not a lock, it's better!
Forget drilling, padlocks, and complicated clips. LidStop is the simple “set and forget” gravity lock for wheelie bins that keeps your bin lid shut tight against wind, rain, birds, insects, and odours – without needing removal on collection day.
Unlike traditional wheelie bin locks, LidStop is designed to flex and add resistance so your bin lid always returns to a closed position. That means:
✅ No drilling or permanent installation
✅ No need to remove before garbage trucks empty your bin
✅ Fits standard council wheelie bins in Australia up to 240 litres
✅ Available in a pack of 2 or 4

Why LidStop is Australia's Best Wheelie Bin Gravity Lock
Most wheelie bin locks in Australia require drilling holes, using padlocks, or unclipping before bin day. LidStop is a wheelie bin gravity lock with no drilling required. Once installed, you simply forget about it – it works automatically with your council’s garbage collection trucks.
LidStop Solves These Common Garbage Bin Problems
-
STOPS BIRDS & ANIMALS
LidStop provides controlled resistance that prevents birds, possums, and other animals from flipping your bin lid backwards. Your rubbish stays inside the bin, not scattered across your street.
-
KEEPS RAINWATER OUT
By holding the lid closed after collection, LidStop stops rainwater from filling your bin. This reduces messy runoff, prevents water contamination, and saves you from having to tip out litres of dirty water.
-
ADDS PRESSURE ON OVERFILLED BINS
Even when your bin is full, LidStop applies gentle pressure to keep the lid down. This stops loose rubbish from escaping on windy days and keeps your bin looking neat at the kerb.
-
CONTROLS ODOURS
When the lid stays shut, unpleasant odours are trapped inside the bin. LidStop helps keep your outdoor areas fresher and stops foul smells from drifting into your home or garden.
-
HELPS PREVENT LID & HINGE DAMAGE
A constantly flapping lid can crack hinges and shorten your bin’s lifespan. By keeping the lid secure, LidStop reduces wear and tear, saving you hassle and replacement costs.
-
KEEPS OUT FLIES AND INSECTS
LidStop ensures your bin lid always closes automatically, blocking flies, maggots, and insects from entering. This keeps your bin more hygienic, reduces breeding pests, and makes waste disposal far more pleasant.
-
CONTAINS RUBBISH TO PREVENT LITTER & SPILLS
If your bin is knocked over in a storm or by passing traffic, LidStop helps contain the contents. No more chasing rubbish down the street after a windy night.
-
CABLE TIES INCLUDED
Attach provided cable tie for easy removal for cleaning etc. INCLUDED!
-
HOW IT WORKS
LidStop clips securely onto your wheelie bin handle and uses flexible resistance to hold the lid shut. It automatically allows the lid to open when emptied by garbage trucks, then closes again to keep rubbish contained.

from 17 reviewsWorks really well: my neighbours & I reckon they are awesome, as we live in a fairly windy area.
These work really well. Gets very windy here & not uncommon to have bins & rubbish strewn around the streets.
Plus I'm also sick of getting home at the end of the day & having to empty rainwater out of all 3 bins, and that problem is now solved.
Our local council sells latches, but they limit it to one per household, and the lid is still left open after emptying 🙄
I was worried they wouldn't empty if there wasn't much weight in the bin, but I haven't ha any problems.
Wish they were a bit easier to push onto the handle - I end up whacking my knuckles every time, & with arthritis it really hurts!
Apart from that, I'm really happy with my purchase.

Have been in a situation where the lids are blown open or over and then rubbish goes everywhere. This is brilliant, looks like it will excellently, great price for them and postage time was great. Very happy cutomer indeed and highly reccomend them. Thank you so much for this product.
