Joe, Generally if the magnet catches are not broken at the mounting tabs, you never have to replace. Likely the tabs will break as you try to drill the rivets, or when you re-fasten. Just put some duct tape on the ceiling after affixing to a doubled paper towel. Use this as a spray shield and just flood them and jiggle while spraying with WD 40. Use it as a rinse with drip and spray catching towels strategically placed on the cabinets and floor. Save all that work. Spray, wiggle, jiggle, and spray some more until the little magnets get loose, floppy, and independent in the plastic holder. You are simply spray-washing with WD 40, a mild solvent soap substitute. You will see it works. The WD eventually will evaporate it after finishes dripping. Mild Dawn or Dove will clean up around it and the ceiling. Rinse with rather wet terry towel and wipe dry. If you can get so loosened, the pair of independent moving magnets can flush contact the metal latch, the magnet set will hold the door. -Eddie- Houston, TX
