Re:Refrigerator Question
Hey, I remember the bracket and pin arrangment on the refrig in my folk's Airstream! It worked well, largely because it was very visible. As I recall, it was simply a couple triangular pieces of sheet metal. One was screwed to the top of the refrig door with one point sticking out. The other was screwed to the refrig frame just above the door (or was it the underside of the counter?), with a point sticking out. When the door was closed, the points of the triangles lined up, a hole in each point lined up, and a pin (thoughtfully captive on a short flexible wire) could be dropped through the pair of holes.
Since we, too, have ended up with food on the floor a couple times, I've been thinking of cutting some sheet metal triangles myself, to duplicate that old system. If I get it done, I'll post a picture. But you could use screws eyes, installed in the same locations, just as well. I don't know about you, but I would be certain to misplace a bungee cord.
