Any ideas on how to keep a freezer closed?
We have a upright freezer and the bottom of the door doesn't stay closed all the way. I've changed the seal but I think the door might be slightly warped or something because it opens a crack. Then there is ice build up or drips etc. My first thought was to use bungee cords or a long strap around the whole thing. Biggest concern is that it will fall down when taken off and be a pain. We use the freezer at least a couple of times a day. Maybe some kind of latch like you would see on a yeti cooler? How could I attach the ends to the door and the side? Door is shiny smooth but the side is rough. I considered strong tape or glue but not sure anything would hold against the tension. Can I bolt something on? The inside of the door with the shelves can be unscrewed but not sure about the side. Would I need to go all the way through or would something like sheet metal screws hold? Anything in there to be concerned about damaging? Thanks! submitted by /u/Got_ist_tots [link] [comments]
