Host Mammoth Privacy Door

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

    Mine has never come unlatched. 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.
