I know this thread is old. Maybe I should have posted each little mod to its own thread, but I didn't. I like all of my renos and mods on one thread since, in my mind, my
Boler reno has never ended. I did the initial
renovation in a mad rush over three months, but I have never felt done yet. So, here is the continuation of my favourite project:
Fridge Door Lock
I can't count the number of times we have stopped to find the contents of our
fridge dumped all over the floor of the
Boler. The little Dometic lock just doesn't hold. I really didn't want a bungee cord across the door, even though it was the simplest idea. I have to admit I spent a lot of time mocking up several solutions. When I realized that there was a matching hole in the bottom of the door and that the matching bracket was threaded, the
light came on!
I just took a metric bolt and turned down about 1 cm of it to make the end a pin to fit in the door hole. I luckily had a knurled nut from a quick-release bike spindle (axle?) to add to the bolt to allow for easy turning.
