How To Remove The Plastic Lid Lock on a Gallon Of Paint

Have you ordered Annie Sloan’s Wall Paint from The Purple Painted Lady? And then were you at home wondering how the heck to remove that safety lock? Well, you are not alone!

WHAT IS THE PLASTIC SAFETY LID LOCK FOR?

In order to ensure safety that the lid of the gallon of paint does not pop off when in transit via UPS or FedX, we add a white plastic safety lid lock as a safety seal to the gallons. They are super secure and not easy to remove – which is good because it means it will be difficult for that can of paint to open by itself.

It takes a little finesse to remove the lid and it is best to use a wrench like the one shown in the photo or video below.
