Magnets hold too tight hard to open what to do?

remove and remount metal catch plate so that a smaller portion comes in contact with magnet-reducing the total pull of magnet.

Reposition the catch plate so that it's not making full contact with the magnet.

Hi -- I stacked two standard paperclips on each of the two magnets and it's worked pretty well to lessen the pull!

The off set openingworks fine. I thought the same thing about getting a center opening. You might want to order some extra magnets though.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

I have a couple of different types of these. This one is a little stiff to open. Some of them you have to press down on the cover while turning to open it. Try that. If it doesn't work I'll get mine in hand and talk you through it.

Did you try a magnet to retrieve the screw? If you get it back together, checking the tightness of the screw should be routine.

You can't pop the magnets out since the frame itself is the magnet. But there are screw holes in the frame if you wish to screw it onto the chassis.

Push it down and you have to hold it down. Pull it all the way up and it clicks into stay open.

Along with what everyone else has said about using a screwdriver and hammer, try opening the door slightly. When the door is closed there is more pressure on the pin than when the door is slightly ajar. Good luck!

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Loosen that screw looking thing on the side that shows a lock and unlock then slide the cover open. I struggled with this also, but sliding the cover is the key.

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

Grip the sides of the case tight in one hand, and the sides on the other hand. Then pull hard. Sliding it out using a downwards and out motion on the screen works too.

After 4 months of use the metal plate that touch the magnet came out, and I had hard time to close the door. Here is the solution that I used, get the instant glue (e.g., super glue, gorilla or crazy glue)and apply it on the back side of the metal plate and press it hard and hold it for 1-2 minute. For best result, keep the door open for 2-3 hours and let the glue dry completely. Now close & open the door in normal fashion. By the way, I used super glue that I had in my garage. For last 5 months it is working fine and hopefully, it will resolve your problem. If it works for you, please review and make your comments so that other people can use the same technique. Good luck.

It's stubborn you need to pry hard, I thought I broke mine when I opened it.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

Try getting a smaller Phillips screwdriver to get it open, which you can find at any hardware store
