they keep popping up and my little girl cut her foot on one. Are they adjustable? seems like there is a spring in there but could it have come un-sprung over the years? they look fine and are not broken but they just will not hold themselves shut.

Anybody had this problem on a mid-eighty's Mate?

TIA
