- My shower door has two magnetic strips, one on the stop and one on
- the door, each as tall as the door. These come together when the
- door is closed so that it sticks closed. But over the last two
- weeks the magnets have gradually lost their attraction for one
- another and now they no longer latch on to each other, causing the
- door to move freely.
-
- I didn't know it was possible for magnets to lose their personality
- like this. Does anyone know causes/cures? Please e-mail me and
- I'll summarize in a couple of weeks.
