Mine is similar to this; except I used 3/4 webbing strap with snaps. I screwed a male snap onto the frig door and the strap is fixed to the cabinet. The strap has two snaps: one position to secure door closed; and a second position to secure door adjar when fridge is empty. The door adjar position uses a little foam to compress and this allows air to circulate so as to not get musty in the unused fridge.heinphoto said:I added velcro straps at the top and bottom:

I did this mostly to compress the door seal to ensure that no cold air leaks out. I never had any problems with the refrigerator opening on rough roads.

That's what I did for all my 2008 cabinet drawers and doors. We carry a cast iron pan and our doors kept popping open on the rougher trails. The straps with snaps have been in use for 8 years and we still use them. I've since done slam latch hardware on our doors, but the straps on straps is still our go to back up to keep our stuff inside the cabinets and not dumped on the floor.fuzzymarindave said:Mine is similar to this; except I used 3/4 webbing strap with snaps.

That's clever.JaSAn said:The door on my fridge can be reversed. I made a pin fixture that uses the unused holes to hold the door closed:

Looks solid.Loren said:Thanks to all the replies and ideas. I like Lighthawk have a Dometic latch that hangs on less than I/8". I went to hardware store to get the stick on Velcro / safety lock even though in the past when using stick on it doesn't last forever and usually takes the veneer with it. I went by the door hardware section and found a 4" sliding bolt lock usually used horizontally. I installed vertically at the bottom of the door but had to build up the bottom catch with a small block of wood and aluminum,bolt 1.jpgbolt 2.jpg
