Removing magnet from Reo Door

[ENAUD]

I've had to do it because I glue a replacement in and it sat a little to high. Need to pull it and clean under it better.

I had to because when I put in a replacement I got it bassackwards.

Thanks for those replies, both cases I can see where that could easily happen.

Still crackin' me up Mrs C, and now I'm off work...

Doh. I just replaced one I put in backwards (in the mod) today.

I put gently secured the mod (wrapped in a foam sheet) in a vice and drilled into the magnet until I just penetrated to the back of the magnet hole in the mod. Pried it out, got a qtip with acetone, cleaned the hole real well and correctly installed the new magnet. Not recommended for doors though.

I, like filthy, also messed up a door by putting in too much superglue under it. Unlike the beast master, I sanded mine flush. Not so pretty but no sees the inside of my door anyhow

I got to ask, out of sheer curiosity, why do some of you remove the magnets? Do some of them get weak?

I had one come out. Then I put it in with too much glue under it & the door would not operate.

Done too much glue my self the first time around. I had to sand it down.
