Simple, No Cost Refrigerator Lock

[myboyburt]

This is something my husband came up with as the solution to our refrigerator opening up and spilling it's contents while we are towing. Works great and didn't cost a thing.

We have a two door refrigerator which has the reversing door option. So, it has a hinge between the two doors with a hole in it in case we want to have the doors open the other way. We use this hinge as the base for our refrigerator lock. We just pull a long twist tie through the hole in the hinge and then wrap the twist tie around a small block of wood that holds both doors in place. See attached examples.

We never have a mess to clean up anymore and the solution was a no cost item. Being Yankees we love that part.

Great tip. We use a No. 2 pencil on ours.

I thought there must be something missing from the door to keep it closed when traveling. I had to put my ice cooler in front of it at my 10 mile stop to check on things. There were water bottles scatered all over the floor when I stopped. The ice cooler works for travel but now my cat seems to think he needs to get himself a cold one while I am away. So thanks to you myboyburt for the tip, now I can keep "Boots" out of the frig he's such a lush.
