magnetic catch

The fridge is relatively old - 7 years I think. Anyway, after replacing the seal, it still didn't stay closed. Opening and closing the freezer would sometimes open the fridge. The DIY solution is to make up and install a magnetic catch. I used a 3 dollar magnetic with a 3kg pull with this job. The spring maintains the alignment It works well and my daughter has no trouble opening it.

We also installed some curtains to keep out the morning sun's glare.
