[johnperri55]

I'm looking for somerhing that can keep it ajar but also in place when its not in use. it's a catalina 385 with a frig that opens from the front. thanks

How about one of these from Harbor Freight? All plastic; won't rust or corrode. Just clamp onto your door. Easy peasy.

I'm not sure that clamp wouldn't squeeze the gasket on the fridge door, creating a "dimple" in it that would prevent it from sealing. 'Twould be simpler just to put a waste basket between the door and the fridge and something in front of the door to keep it from swinging. That's what I did on my boat when it was out of the water getting a bottom job.

I use a short bungie cord to attach the latch on the fridge door to a nearby rail for the gimbaled oven/stove. Works well when I defrost the freezer.

Just hang a towel over the door

Just hang a towel over the door

That's what I do. Works for all kinds of doors.

That's what I do. Works for all kinds of doors.

And a tie on the door means something else altogether...

That one was new to me as well. Different strokes for different folks Peggie.

Haha. I used to work in a restuarant. All kinds of nasty went on in the walk-in.
