- Dutch_12078Explorer IIII used common window latches to secure the doors on our residential fridge. About $3.50 at Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon, etc.



- pismopeteExplorerGreat leads and ideas, thank you.
- wa8yxmExplorer IIIWell I had a fridge in my residence where the freezer door often did not stay closed..> Camping world or General RV had a plastic latch that did the job
This looks like the product.
I found a better photo but can not figure out how to link to it.
I'm not sure this is your best choice for the RV though
What I did: Cargo strap wrapped around the fridge. Worked great. - I used to use velcro, lost the piece I used si I imporovised and used one of these - Twist ties. Both work equally as good.

Nice! This is exactly how the factory installed residential refer locks work. - Cummins12V98Explorer IIISide by side refrigerator doors I use a big Velcro strap. For the freezer bottom drawer I wedge a pillow between it and the island.
