"Slipping" safety lever

You can break the lever by bending it, it sounds like all you need is a slight amount of more pressure, it might be worth looking at the pivot point where the safety lever and safety bar meet. This can easily get bent during take down and cause weak latching. Try applying slight upward pressure here with a flat head screwdriver and cycle your lever to see if latching is improved.
