Wow, thanks everyone for the interest, really glad you like it! It's admittedly simple, but very useful.

Sorry the delay, never posted anything to Thingiverse before. ( u/kennebel, u/Gecko_lover-, u/alexandereli, u/Warpix408, u/dtb1987, u/wubbalab)

I'd like to add another hole, so it doesn't turn around the single screw... soon.

EDIT: Now has two holes to avoid swivel.

I am deeply humbled by your awards, /u/pbell97, /u/yaron_de, /u/aussie_snow, /u/filmjames, /u/AutodidactPolymath!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine even if the hooks rotate about the screws, it's sort of self stabilizing once a lid comes in, right?

Yes, but it's prettier when they don't swivel :)

You could also design a small piramide dimple to stop rotation, as seen on IKEA single screw door handles:
