Clasp on 78350 does not stay closed

the clasp on my 78350 bracelet does not stay cloed. I think it is best to bring jewerler to fix, but curious if I could just bend the side tabs in a bit.

Anyone?

Thank you

You can experiment with it until it works.

Bending the tabs can lead to them being snapped off. There is a discussion thread on this subject -- very informative and useful. Search for it. Sorry I can't find it now.
