How is everyone keeping the bathroom privacy door latched during travel?I find that the velcro strap will come loose nearly every time and allows the door to move and cause damage to the door or woodwork. I was thinking of some type of positive latch so it cannot move. I also think it needs possibly another guide at the bottom to limit movement.

I find the Velcro holds pretty well. Mine has about a 2" wide strap. You could add a snap but you'd have to put some spacers under the metal bar on the wall so the snaps would fit under it. That's what I planned on doing if it becomes a problem.

Yeah, I'm not sure what is different with mine. It came loose on the way home after delivery. Host was great about sending a replacement panel which was damaged but trying to prevent it from happening again.

I have not had this problem yet. The velcro seems to hold. But I do watch it closely.

Do you feed the strap through the inside door hook before going to the wall hook?

No. Don't see how that would help much.

My door still moves even when strapped I think it shakes pretty hard going down the road and causes the strap to work loose.

One thing I do that may make a difference is when I latch it, I don't pull it tight. If you do you'll only have a small amount of Velcro latched. Instead just loop it to have maximum Velcro attached, mine still moves a bit too. I just tested mine and i pulled pretty **** hard on the door and it didn't budge.
