Would you want a bin that has this mechanism already built in or would you be looking for a gadget that you could fix on to your existing bin? I would definitely be interested in a mechanism that could be easily engaged/disengaged with a small amount of strength and without needing to apply too much pressure. Also, an easy-to-grip device would be a must for me!

Would some sort of clip-on magnetic device be any good, I wonder? It would have to be powerful enough to keep wildlife out, but easy enough to open without too much effort.
