Default Slide Bolt Latch on Inside of Upper Door

We are having the same problem in our 2020 2720 TM. Door opens unexpectedly because of cheap latch held on with single pop rivet. We are planning to install a slide bolt as you did on the inside of upper door. One question I have, does it interfere with the RV's gaskets when closing or opening? Seems there is enough room but would hate to scratch the outer surface of the rear section's surface. Thank you for providing a solution. Were you satisfied with this solution?
