If you already have the totes without the locks, you can tape them shut by taking the tape the whole way around and then taping it over the top of the tape itself. If you can get the clear movers tape , it will peel right off the containers without letting any residue. Good luck with your move! If you are packing a lot yourself, try to get a friend or more then one to help you. Put the soup in the crock pot and make it fun.
