hi all

Has anyone fit a cupboard lock or inside locker stop which acts as a belt & braces over the standard fit catch to help stop internal cupboards/drawers opening whilst on the move?
I have a kitchen drawer and and cupboard drawer that open whilst I'm driving.
Both are fitted with the same type of internal handle/catches as those on the rest of the van, but these two must vibrate over the catch.

I've read that this is a common problem and wondered what fixes everyone's done to theirs?
Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks!

Our Bolero bathroom door comes open occasionally when travelling, although it seems to latch shut when you try it on site, one of life's little mysteries!

Sugru to extend the catch, or even multimorph plastic will do this. Both available on Amazon.

they are the new duct tape apparently. Just done a few jobs on the van with them today.

I've fitted childproof whatnots in the past to solve the problem. The ones I'm thinking of are this type:

Broken Link Removed

I like them because they can't be seen from outside the drawer.

I've thought about those, but the ones you've posted the link on are the best value so far - thanks.
I just need to study where they can fix to, as the drawers are wood front and metal basket type sides.

They fit to the part (underside of surface?) above the drawer and to the inside of the drawer front.

We solved the problem by fitting a strong magnetic door catch
