Residential 'Fridge Locks

I have a stainless steel Samsung French door bottom freezer 'fridge that I want to install the stainless locks on. I bought them off Amazon. They look exactly like the ones I've seen on the identical referidgerators in 2018-19 diesel pusher RV's.

Does anyone have pics of your installation of the locks or maybe a YouTube video?? I'm looking for installation tips.

Thanks!

I used the same latch. I used very good two sided tape. One reason my door had a little curve. Tested like that for a couple days. Then screwed in place with tape still attached .

I did have to shim frig side latch about a 1/4 itch.

Good Luck

Been using this "lock" for almost 30,000 miles and the door hasn't come open yet. Cheap too!

No photos because it was on our last RV. They worked perfectly so I'm putting them on our new one as soon as I get home.
