Cupboard door opens when travelling

Tundra57

I have a tab 400 boondock. 2019. The bottom cupboard will open while traveling and dump the contents. I want to add a lock to prevent this. I like the childproof magntetic lock as there is no hole to drill thro the door, but then i have to not lose the magnetic key.

Any of you guys tried another lock like maybe a push to release?

@Tundra57
Are you referring to the door below the silverware drawer?  That should have a catch on the right hand side.  It is fairly robust.  Unless you have something rather heavy banging against it I can't imagine that it wouldn't hold with road jouncing.  Check to see if that catch is missing.  If it is not there, there are several types available at Lowe's or Home Depot.

@Tundra57 Our lower cabinet door opened once while underway. We now put a spring-loaded adjustable curtain rod between the door and the opposite side before departure just to be sure everything stays put.

Falcon 1970. Yes the catch is in place and works. I have my plates on the bottom shelf and some canned stuff on top. Both in plastic bins.

Ahhh...  the old door opens and camper is a mess when you stop thing

This has been a concern for many.  In the back, our doors open left and right, not up.  So, to fix, we use bungie cords stretched horizontally.   In front under sink, we also use the curtain rod trick..

@Tundra57, I purchased silicone baking sheets (just a flat piece of silicone smaller than a cookie sheet) and put two of them side by side on the cabinet floor, both top and bottom shelves. That way the wooden trays my canned goods and other stuff in other wooden trays would not be able to slide and open the door. The silicone made it non-sliding and solved my problem.
