you have to set them so the trigger bar is barely on

because they don't weigh much or enough to trigger
the trap to close.... and have one door already closed.

also you have to add a weight (flat rock) to the slammer door
to speed up it's closing -> as mice are wicked fast movers

better to not place bait on the see /saw shelf but on the floor
just past it.... old piece of bread with peanut butter covered in sunflower seeds....
