St Croix Hastings iron fire door magnet latch failure?

[Don2222]

Hello
The small round magnet in the stove just stopped holding the door closed and it would swing back open!

Anyone Else have this issue?
What did you do?

So these magnets from Home Depot seem to work.

You mean to say the door is held closed by a magnet? What craziness is that.

Oh good. I thought it was too crazy to just be a magnet.
