   Forgot to mention that my traps have to be set for a hair trigger.  
On the Have-A-Heart, there is
   a linkage from the trigger flap to a hook which keeps the door 
open.  I set this hook at it's very
   edge of engagement, so that the slightest pressure will set off the 
trap.  I'm not sure if this can
   be done on other types of traps.
