ps can door poppers pull?

The reluctance is solely based in focusing discussion... apparently that has failed. I've never understood some peoples' desire to know every mundane detail in order to answer a question. The actual application wouldn't mean anything to anyone here, and on the extreme off chance it does...

New explicit criteria: No changing the spring! :) No doubt, you (and everyone else above) are right. The manufacturer probably over-spec'd that spring and replacing it probably *is* the "right" solution. Simple, cheap... and completely unmarketable. Plus, people have been complaining about...

But then I'd need a motor to pull the straps :) Unless you mean attach them on the outside, and that's not practical. I can't do anything to the outside of the box. I have a small amount of room on the inside in "front" of and below the latch. As a one-off... if this were just my box and I...

I actually tried exactly that. I failed to measure. I just didn't successfully find a way - which what was at hand - to take the measurement. But I'd guess "yes"... it is very hard to engage. I'm a pretty strong guy and while I could do it, I probably couldn't do it 5 times in a row :) Let...

Ok, I obviously wasn't clear because we keep dancing around this part of my original post: This isn't a one off. Nor is it a trunk... that was an analogy. It isn't a misadjusted latch. It could be argued that it is a product design flaw - I certainly think it is - but they ALL take a lot of...

I assume you can see the drawing (it sounded like Tmoose couldn't)? If so, you see the circle between approximately B and C? That's the axis of rotation for the existing armature. So my thought was to install a motor (how is left for future problem solving) about that same axis, with some...

Thanks, but I'm trying to work with an EXISTING mechanism. The fact that some other mechanism does what I want is great for that mechanism, but how's that help here? Unless your suggestion is to buy corvette trunk latches and hope they happen to fit as a direct replacement? But sure, yes...

Thanks for your response. If I was designing the box, I'd agree. What I'm hoping to do is help owners deal with the thing they already have, not reinvent the thing. I'm thinking the spring was chosen for a reason. I'd *prefer* to leave it alone and only add to the design, rather than...

First, I have to express that I'm not an engineer and I struggled to find an appropriate place to ask questions like these. I hope this is the place. Right now I simply have an idea to address a problem with a product I own. I know it frustrates other owners, so ultimately I'd like to market...
