Samsung Refrigerator Door Lock

We’re down in Kelso, WA at the Brookview RV resort to have our two couches replaced.  This is our first trip since we had the new refrigerator installed and, as it’s a residential fridge, it doesn’t  have secure doors or door locks like ones made for an RV like the Norcold we replaced.  (see the fridge blog HERE )
Anyway before we moved, I had to figure someway to secure the doors. I had seen several methods that others had used. All of them involved drilling holes and screwing screws into the stainless steel doors. I hated the thought of that. Kicking around the problem with Troy who installed the fridge, he suggested a large plywood tee between the handles down to the freezer drawer. I cut out several tests out of half inch ply. I ended up changing to an upside down ‘U’.
Here are a couple pictures of the finished product. Debbie covered it with some fabric.

It works great and no holes. Thanks Troy.
