Re: [SilverStreak] magnet latches

Bruce,

I think Eddie has a good answer for "sticky" plastic ends.  You can take the 
latch off and hit it with a quick shot of engine starting fluid.
Be sure to just use a quick squirt as you don't want to damage the plastic. 
Then put some powdered graphite on the slides.

If you are talking about the magnets loosing effectiveness, I have always 
found that on mine the top magnet has been bent out of position, and if I 
gently realign the magnets to give an even fit, they then work OK.
