    Magnets
    I have magnets to keep kitchen cabinets closed. Two of the magnets have gotten very weak. How is it possible to restore the power of the magnet? Thank you!

    You could go to the hardware store and buy a good bar magnet. Stroke your magnet with the new bar magnet several times but only in one direction. It should restore the magnet. The drawback is the bar magnet may cost more than the cabinet magnet replacement. Are you sure the magnet is making contact with the plate? That is usually the problem.
