This model uses a wood dowel as a pivot instead of metric screws or the breakage-prone plastic pins. I also modified the geometry so that the latch closes tightly and the bottom engages the box extrusions to allow one side of the lid to act as a hinge and remain in the locked position.
I used a $0.42 36” long 3/16" diameter Hello Hobby Wood Dowel from Walmart. Cut it into four 4-3/4" lengths. The holes on the Sterilite box are roughly the right diameter but run a drill bit through by hand to clear out any obstructions. You should be able to push the pin through the holes and latch by finger with enough resistance to hold the pin firmly in place.
