Paper towel holder and opening drawers
2 things, first, does someone make a paper towel holder that sticks on vs mechanical fasters? Second, can someone point me to a good mod that keeps the drawers from sliding open. Thanks

My paper towel roll holder is an antique oil lantern wall fixture that screws into a stud and a piece of 1/4" rod that I had that is perfect for the purpose. The rod swivels in the lantern holder to get the roll against the wall before transport. Everyone should have such a nice device, lol.
For keeping drawers shut: An owner of loose slides will need a 3/8" drill bit (preferably a Forstner bit but not essential), two neodymium 3/8" disc magnets, and a tube of epoxy adhesive. Drill holes in the cabinet stile and in the drawer front that meet when closed (a dowel centering plug works well here).
Glue in the magnets with fields opposed. If you recess them, you can cover with wood filler or veneer so they're invisible. The two magnets hold the drawer closed and are easy to open when needed. No latches or cords in the way and no slide replacement necessary.
