Refrigerator root cellar door latch
The gaskets on the refrigerator
root cellar are old and don't quite seal up the two doors. A simple screen door latch is all it takes to solve that
problem. I installed them a little on the tight side in order to pull
the door firmly closed with no gaps. The refrigerator latch required a
piece of scrap wood behind the handle for the eye to bite into.
This might work for a low budget fix to a working refrigerator that has
a weak gasket. I've often heard a new gasket can cost nearly as much as
a good used refrigerator.
