It would take considerable friction to wear the steel with wax to boot on them. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

I’m with Bob and Danny on this one! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

I’m with Bob and Danny on this one! Lee the surface of the night latch is just as long as the surface of the short notch. I don't see what you're saying.
