Fridge lock
Hi, I've just purchased a 1988 Autosleeper, Trident. Just a couple of small jobs to do. One is the fridge has the lock missing. I've attached a pic of the unit, does anyone have an idea what sort of lock is needed and where I could get one from.
Still finding my way around this great site, and my lovely van.

Re: Fridge lock
Many thanks all. Great answers from where to buy the part, to great alternatives.
We are having our first trip away next weekend, that should tell me what I need.

Re: Fridge lock
Golf tee is a good idea, must try it, I use a bolt which fits nicely.

Re: Fridge lock
Golf tee here too
Re: Fridge lock
Mine was missing when I got the van so I fitted a small brass shot bolt gismo so I can lock the fridge closed while on the move.
I also made an offset device similar to the holding the back door open a tad for those hot summer nights gadjet so that I can hold the door a shade ajar when the fridge is not in use.
BTW Golf! A good walk spoiled
