Standard Interlocking Lid


'Standard' means the lid has a cavity up inside. 'Interlocking' means the lid and the base may have some kind of rabbetting technique allowing the two sections to interlock with each other. Some hardware choices may require that we use strips of wood attached to the inside of the lid. This allows us to install latches and catches easily.
