So I got 4 of these recently, mine have the white silicone gasket inside - it's a really tight fit to get them shut. What's the trick to get them latched? It can't be that I'm that big of a wuss.

I had the same problem. I got silicone orings from mcmaster. These are a lot thinner and make it easier to latch.

Nope, you're a sissy...

I am a wuss for sure - but I read this thread with guys saying they think they can do this one-handed without the rings and I'm thinking I might need to stand on them to get them closed...(and open for that matter)...

I'm just giving you a hard time, I purchased mine before anyone was supplying the silicone gaskets. I purchased some silicone orings to replace mine with, they open/close fairly easily with one hand.

I got them with the silicone baskets. They're easy to latch and really a great way to brew.

If you latch one side all the way, it makes the other one harder to latch. Close both at the same time.

Order some silicone O Rings from bargain fittings. Pull out the white and replace with the red/orange. They also take a while to break in. Push the fittings together and make sure that you draw handles back at the same time. After a while you will be doing this one handed.

FYI, I just ordered some Camlock fittings from Pro Flow Dynamics this morning. They had Type F fittings in stock and told me they would ship today.
