Will this model allow for tarnish to form since the flap does not completely close and can let air in?

I have had mind for a couple of months and so far so good! We burn wood too, which tarishes silver.

So far, so good. It helps to make sure all the flatware is covered and remember to close the drawer.

I have not had any tarnish since I bought this item. My silverware so far has been tarnish free.

Yes, the flap will allow air to get to your silver. We wanted to use our silver everyday and needed something in a drawer that would provide easy access and some protection. This was perfect. I used Velcro in the drawer to keep it from slipping since our drawer was larger than the case and it works great.

No. I used this for my baby when she was as young as a month and didn't bother with the flap. I just made sure she had a pacifier in her mouth to be extra sure she would not suffocate.

Plastic flap should be flush with the brush material, slightly pushing into it to minimize air leaks. At least it is on mine.

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

It's not air-tight but the top lid and drawer fit very well. Something would have to be very small to get in. You could always tape the seams if you needed to.

Yes it will. I have searched for a way to clean silvercloth without losing the anti-tarnish properties, and have not yet found it. I have also looked for a way to re-treat the cloth so that it regains anti-tarnish properties, and have not found that either. Someone let me know if they know a way. I have a lot of pouches that are sewn, but are getting dingy. I wish I could clean them.

I doubt it, but in my experience, if you keep your silver wrapped up, it doesn't tarnish fast. The more you can protect your silver from the chemicals in the air, the less likely it is to tarnish. These work well for me.

Not too much. Just the flap makes a noise when it is pushed, but after a while it is hardly noticeable.

For us it wouldn't bend down and stay there without flopping back up. With the original, you can literally attach to top backwards and it stays. With the One you are at the mercy of the flap. If there's a way we couldn't figure it out.

The flap will not stay close and yes a magnet add on is definitely needed to keep it close. That's one of the reason why I returned it.

Yes, mine has a gold over flap so we have to take ours out. I looked at the case you have and don't see why you would have to take it out. I hope this helps!!

It does have a magnetic flap that seems to work pretty well and keep air out. It has a slide shut hard cover too. I would say yes so long as you have reasonable expectations for a flap of rubber with a magnet at the bottom.

I do not have an answer to that question, but I have 3 dogs who use the door very frequently and have not had an issue with the flaps in the time I had it which is close to 2 years now.

The flap isn't bad...if the weather is incorrigible, I just put the door on that closes the flap. The part that needs to be sealed well is the other side of the door where the two sliding doors overlap. Be sure that is sealed well or you will be heating the outdoors.

The way I do it is to keep my finger at the top or bottom so there is just a small crack and I have also folded the closure flap between the front and back. That might cause the leather to crack., though. It does get annoying sometimes though. I still prefer the case to the inconvenience!

Leave the flap open when you screw on the lid so it doesn't build up air pressure.

The key is to keep air away from the silver. Is the display airtight? If not you will need to keep this cloth on top and bottom covering the jewelry completely to prevent tarnishing. Perhaps keeping it under the jewelry during shopping hours and cover completely after hours will be enough. Hopefully, it all will be selling out as you replace it with new pieces. I covered inside a jewelry box including the lid. But my silver still started to turn brown. I then added a double layer (serged around the edges) and laid flat against the metal and the tarnishing stopped. BTW - My silver is beautiful against the blue. Any pieces that are antiqued will not show as well against black as they do against the blue. The key is to keep air away from the silver. Is the display airtight?
