Somewhat Rube Goldberg, a pain to use (must be removed to get into the fridge, otherwise it would poke you in the eye), and clearly not a long-term answer. Works well, though. Still looking at other designs. Bought one last week, but doesn't fit the hinge holes.

I wanted to respond to this question, but ask that we now drop the discussion of door latches, as it's off-topic.

Chuck-

Nice job on the extension.

Here is the pic of finished install. I was able to use some trim that I had at the house to close the gap around the new fridge. The color was surprisingly closer than I thought. Overall, it came out pretty good.

I use this on our doors. Works well, looks good and easy to install.
