  • Have you talked to Fleetwood about the door coming open? I use those spring loaded bars to keep the upright stuff from moving around.

    I added a plastic lip to the front of my shelves to help keep things on it.
    I found these on Ebay. Even if you have a French door refer you could us one of these between the two doors... they are that strong as shown in the two brown pictures below.


    Used black plastic paint on them. My Whirlpool is not a counter depth unit so it sticks out enough to use them.


    My recent DIY home refer install can be found here with info on size of inverter and amps while running.
  • Velcro strap through both handles to keep it closed.

    Braces and bars to keep things from falling out when we open the doors.

    Pack stuff tightly and it won't move around. This might require extra purchases of adult beverages to take up all that "wiggle space". :)
  • We use bars inside and a velcro strap across the top of the doors. With the velcro it won't come open and it's on the top so it isn't visible. We had the southco locks, but they were a pain.

    Just an example of how to keep stuff stationary inside the fridge.

    As far as keeping the doors shut.....yeah, child proof locks of some sort? Or those locks posted earlier? Maybe wedge a bar between the door and the floor?
