- BumpyroadExploreron my cabinets with doors with handles next to each other, I use those large "twistem' type thingys.
bumpy - kerry4951ExplorerThey look like they could be a challenge to get installed in the correct position.
- kohldadExplorer IIIDoubt the magnetic that close to the hinge would provide much securing force.
On our fifth wheel, we used these child safety locks.
You use the magnetic key each time to open or on the first open, switch the red lever and it remains unlocked. Flip the level again to resume locking. - Nemo667ExplorerLooks good Mike.
We have these cabinet struts that hold our over head doors open as well. Kind of a pain in the neck to hold the door open every time while you look for something. When properly installed the struts cam-over when door is shut and holds them very tight. I like your idea for the non-overhead cabinet doors. - rockhillmanorExplorerNever had a cabinet door open on me yet in the MH.
But then again I have a built in alarm for that! :B
I packed up the MH and headed out of the CG and my dog would just not shut up. Non stop barking. After about a mile of listening to that I pulled over pretty much to try and shut him up until I noticed.....I had left the overhead cabinet open. Apparently he is the boss of making sure the MH departure list is completed. Closed the cabinet door and he turned around and went to sleep.:R
Now only if he could see to tell me when I forget to bring the steps in. - RoyBExplorer III always have a bag these bungee cords with a Ball on one end. Most of the time I can wrap this around something to keep things shut...
The magnet sound like a great idea as well...
Roy ken - Blue masking tape works well in an emergency. Don't ask me how I know this.
Also, pack the cupboard contents so they cannot get a sliding run at the door. - RV_CONUSExplorerThanks for sharing the information.
I wonder if they would also work on drawers.
No matter the adjustment, it seems like we still have a couple of drawers that want to slide open when making turns.
Anyway, thanks again, and also for providing the link.
Good idea.
