I use those rods in almost all my cupboards, mainly to keep from getting conked on the head when opening. Also use them in the fridge. Everything in there is now nicely kept so no surprises when I open the doors. Also keep them in the medicine cabinets.
Also, on cabinet doors that are behind slides when underway, I use the child latches that span from one cabinet door knob to the other. I do this because one time early in our ownership of this motorhome, stuff inside the cabinet had worked its way to the front of the cabinet while underway and pushed the door open. I couldn't see it because it was behind the slide. As I opened the slide, the knob caught on the slide itself and ripped the knob from the door and damaged it to where it had to be replaced. I only have 3 cabinets that qualify, so the latches were a cheap fix and no more broken doors.
