My MM A. versi has been in the same tank since I got him. Its a ten gallon flipped on its side and the lid is held on by a rig I made of flower wire. He has been in there for about four months now without a problem...Intill last night

Last night before I whent to bed, I whent to fill the watter dishes. He was not in his tank and the door was ajar. This was due to me forgeting to latch it. I look over and he is pressed up against the warm humidifyer. I picked him up, put him in his tank, and kicked the heat up a tad. All was well.

Then, I get home today and the door is closed tight and there is no spider. I have no idea how he got out that time because I can not even shove my pinky through the gap the lid makes. After searching and searching, I saw some legs poking out from behind the shelve he and his female where on. All is well. He is in a small KK while I figure out how to secure his lid.

Maybe use clamps designed for holding the lid on, instead of trying to rig something?

This would be way more than enough, but you could hold the lid shut using those hooked bungee cords that are sold for cars. If you use the right length for your tank, not even a snake would be able to escape from that.
