reclose
Seal once more
To reclose is to close again after having been opened.
The term appears most often in electrical engineering, where circuit breakers automatically reclose after tripping: The breaker will reclose three times before locking out.
More generally, anything that was closed, opened, and closed again has been reclosed: She reclosed the lid and set the box aside.
