Default Tank enclosure lid help!

I keep my syrian hamster, Cashew in a 100x40 cm tank. I bought it from a retired hamster breeder and currently, it has a wooden lid (with mesh) that she had made for it.
The problem is that it is not entirely secure/escape proof so I have to weigh it down with heavy items on top. This works for now but I would really like to upgrade the lid, so I don't have to worry about little Cashew escaping. He is also still quite small so he's using a 20 cm wheel. I bought him a 28 cm one that I can't wait to replace it with, but as it is much taller I fear that he could use it to escape as he has managed to crawl on top of his other wheel.

Does anyone know of a good DIY lid or something that is 100% escape proof so I don't have to weigh it down?

There are a number of youtube videos on making lids for tanks. I believe there is a tutorial somewhere for making a locking lid as well.

Does the lid sit on top, or rest just outside the tank side? If it's the latter, then industrial strength velcro could work

Thank you! The current lid sits on top so there's not much to do really... Could you maybe link one of the videos tho? I can't seem to find one with a locking lid!
