Method of replacing worn and/or damaged surfaces

摘要

At least a portion of a worn and/or damaged surface can be replaced with slats of the type including opposing ends each having an attachment member biased into a normal substantially closed position and defining a cavity. A force in a direction opposing the bias force is applied to the attachment member so as to gain access to the cavity. Once the slat is positioned with respect to a support, the applied force is removed thereby allowing the attachment member to return to the normal substantially closed position.
