My first rear kitchen - drawer and cabinet latches?

I have a new to me Arctic Fox 27-5L and it's my first rear kitchen model. The previous owner installed some eye bolts top and bottom of the drawer bay and stretched a bungee across them. I don't like that method because the metal ends of the bungee rub against the soft cabinet wood. I could pad it somehow but I'd prefer to use cabinet latches or child safety latches. What do other rear kitchen owners use? Same for cabinet doors. This model has a HUGE pantry. It won't come too far open because it's behind the slide when the slide is in. But I'd prefer that door stay closed as well.

    Sometimes previous owners know best. I'm just sayin'

    We use bungie cords on all our cabinet doors. They don't need to be drawn tight, the just need to keep the doors from coming open while on the road. I attached Command Hooks (sideways so small bungie cords could catch the cabinet and the other end would catch that door handle where there are cabinets (or the refrigerator door) and there is no where else to catch the other end of the bungie.
