Unhappy Samsung reefer doors won't stay closed while on the road.

Does anyone out there have a solution for keeping the doors shut on a Samsung residential refrigerator? I put this unit in my 2008 Bounder a year ago and love it when we are parked but the freezer compartment is very heavy and opens and closes while we are on the road letting out cold air and eventhough I run the generator I can't keep the temps inside below 50 degrees. I have tried the "T" bar solution but all it really did was put 2 small dents in the upper compartment doors. I don't want to mar the outside of the refrigerator cabinet so I need a better solution.

I recall some folks in other threads mentioning some kind of integral latch on the Samsung doors. Some sort of sliding plastic piece.

I ordered a latch from Amazon that comes on the new coachs with res. fridges. It screws into the wall and the freezer door - works great
