    To keep the RV’s cabinet doors closed in case the standard door-catches fail while on the road, we use a 6-inch length of 1⁄2-inch inside-diameter clear plastic hose (from the hardware store) and slip the hose between the handles.

    Do not use black hose, as it will leave marks on the cabinets.

      I use baby locks. Saves us a lot of grief if/when we have to stop suddenly.

      Great Idea. I went to the Dollar Tree and got small dog collars that could be adjusted to the
      handles width then clipped when not in use.

      I use a strip of Velcro long enough to go around both handles and attaches to the other side. I use 1 1/2 to a 2 in wide Velcro to get a good grip on the other side.. But the above is also a good idea.

      What we use is velcro strips I bought that is used to hold wire or other items that are rolled up. The strips are about 6″ long. if needed, I attach two together to get around two handles, if they are far apart.
