- g1gExplorerI thought someone would beat me to this .. Duck Tape
Seriously I would consider bolting a nice piece of wood or metal on top and use it as a swing latch and if that isn't possible I would possibly consider the super strength velcro - cochise49ExplorerThe Southco part looks like what Winnebago uses.
- Horizon170ExplorerAs I understand it, you have three doors to keep closed. Two side by side and one on the bottom that opens from the top.
If this is true then my solution would be to install a"T" brace.
Clicky
You would secure it at the proper point where the three doors are at a junction point by tapping into the fridg case. Gravity would hole the "T" in place. To open the bottom door you rotate the "T" 180 degrees. To open the right door you rotate the "T" 90 degrees clockwise and to open the left door you rotate the "T" 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Felt glued to the back would prevent scratching of the paint and you could use you imagination of items on hand to decorate the front of the "T".

You can also use any common door latch, hasp, hook and eye, Lots of options.
When I was trailering I had a compact (Office/Dorm) type fridge and I simply put a packing strap around it,, Had a couple more attached in a specific way so they formed a handle so i could pick it up. Used that thing for several years and sold it to another camper when I upgraded to the A. - cochise49ExplorerWinnebago uses 2 heavy duty plastic cabinet catches screwed to the fridge top and each door. For the freezer drawer, a simple tab that falls over the top edge of the drawer.
- dons2346ExplorerI use an elongated horse shoe shaped piece of wood that was covered with some felt. The "U" portion of the shoe is wide enough to fit in between the door handles and the legs are long enough to go down past the freezer compartment. This way, the two doors are locked shut and the freezer is also. d
