Need a suggestion of a way to keep the pantry door closed while traveling.
Right now we use a tension rod that works most of the time. The door has two roller catches. Looking for some type of latch that is easy to operate but secures the door.
While at the Mother Ship, I bought a latch for a newer model coach but due to the design of the wood of our door, it would not work. TIA
 
What is likely causing it are drawers working their way out. I fixed mine but removing each drawer and putting a drawer catch on the back side. Yeah, it's work, but it does the job. The alternative ugly idea is some lock mechanism on the outside OR try installing, carefully, a stronger/better drawer catch on the inside of the pantry door.
 
Not sure how involved you want to get but I installed an electromagnet door lock that works really well

Thanks for the suggestions. Going to order the electromagnetic door lock. Found it on Amazon.
