Any tricks for keeping kitchen drawers closed when towing?
Our kitchen drawers will slide open when towing. Not a big deal but figure it couldn't be good for the rollers and rails to be sliding like that. Any tricks from the RV pros?

If you have minimal woodworking skills and a small Forstner bit w/drill, you can epoxy a neodymium magnet disc into the back of the drawer and a second disc magnet into the cabinet frame. When the drawer is closed the two magnets hold it closed. Pulling the drawer knob/pull separates the two magnets.
An improvement on this is hiding the discs with a piece of glued on veneer or wood filler. The magnetic force will still hold the drawer shut.
I align the holes for the magnets by drilling one hole and using a Dowel center to mark the second. A 3/8"W X 1/8" neodymium disc magnet is usually enough to hold considerable weight.
