I have looked at childproof magnetic latches sold on amazon for 17 a 4 pack. You place a magnet over the outside and it pops the latch so noting shows and nothing to drill.

Second though was a simple door lock like one person suggested. Drill a 1/2 inch hole, insert lock and lock it shut while traveling.

There is no way to wire or bungee mine shut and hate to arrive with the canned goods and cookware all over the floor. A hook and eye would work but look terrible.

Additional spring friction latches like supplied by Jayco may be to much for regular use.

I bought additional latches like the stock ones. Added one per drawer that flew open. This worked except slide out drawer set which I will do something more robust since it weighs a ton. 31 ul.
