Very little (or no) gas is produced during lagering, so you should be OK. You can always crack the top occasionally if you're worried.

They look spot on for the job. Just leave cap upmost so that, as Dunc said, you can vent should you need to. :D
If I had all the money I'd spent on brewing... I'd spend it on brewing!
