Ours came with a latch that slides over in front of the 2 doors.

If you can find somethign to hook 'em to.
A pair of bunge cords across the Doors works wonders

Lots of other ways too..
I had cupboards that liked to open en-route
I ended up putting a couple of standard hinges on them.. the kind with removable pins (Well they were not that type from the factory but a bit of machining and they were.

Cotter pinned them when on the road. Those doors did NOT open.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

We used Velcro. I suppose it would depend on the style of handles.

A pair of $3.50 window latches do the job for us.

I have the Fridge Fixer and it works very well. Our fiver has a Insignia refrigerator that does not have handles that accommodate a velcro strap that we were able to use on previous campers. Here is a link to it:

friend of ours had that happen, i gave him a couple of the little bungees with the ball and looped and hooked them, good to go and then keep them in the drawer.

There are brackets on the cabinet frame around the refrigerator and then bungee cords go through the door handles and hook on those brackets.

I installed some latches, don't ask the name as I have long forgotten, got the info from a Friendโ€™s 2015 Jayco and ordered on line. Plus, we use a section of Pool Noodle between doors and Island Counter
