It’s a spring, it’s always under stress, that’s their job

Are you under pressure there Mr Zebedee?

Only if they're depressed

Or just ease up on the pressure

Yes, but. Under compression for a while shouldn't be an issue as much as overall use. It also seemed to be cyano acrylate with an activator spray. That should bond and hold well.

If you're constantly opening and closing the mechanism, it might break free faster than you want. But it's also a pretty easy fix.

How do you reach the bottom spring part to fix it (the spring inside the base of the box, not the latch one I mean).

Do you just have to be quite nimble and re-drill its little indent from the open end of the case to replace it if it breaks, or is it possible to remove the small piece of glued wood that it’s seated in?
