Watch Strap Disconnecting

[matcanada]

Hello,

After having made a leather watch strap, I have noticed that the strap occasionally disconnects from the watch casing. More precisely, the spring bars seem to release the strap occasionally. I had the spring bars replaced, so I do not think they are the problem. Is there some special way to make the holes/loops for the spring bars on the watch strap so that they don't get engaged when the strap is tugged at a weird angle? 

Thanks in advance.

Use a little bit of water on the flesh side (like with a brush) and fold it around something around the same size as the spring bars.
