Keeping fridge door open while in storage

We always store our trailer with the fridge open however we will be switching to an indoor facility and they may shift the units around while in storage. My question is, while there's a hundred ways to keep your door open while the rig is still, does anyone else have this situation and a good way to keep the door open yet not banging open/closed in the event the trailer moves? Thank you!

They make little plastic clips that keep the door ajar yet locked in place. We have been using them for years and the work well.

I haven't tried this, but maybe get a wooden dowel cut to the right length (2 to 3 feet, maybe). Use mini-bungee cords to attach dowel to wire refrigerator shelf. Repeat for freezer. (Thinking of my refrig, which has wire shelves in both sections.)

My door has pins you can extend to keep the door from closing however, they don't keep it from swinging open if the rig moves.

Once the fridge dries out...two or three days with the door open...I close mine. No issues.
