Hi there,

I know there is at least one other person here that had this problem. She had a paper bag wedged beside the door so it wouldn't hit her wall.

Anyway, my frig would have been fine if it wasn't for an unexpected framing issue. It's been a problem since we moved into the new kitchen in December. I have had the frig pulled forward to avoid it hitting the walls. So literally in the middle of the night last night, I had an idea. If any of you are familiar with the Jeep Wranglers, you may know that the doors will swing all the way open unless held in place by a strap. If figured I could attach these straps to the frig somehow.

The first thing I did this morning was scope out a place to attach the straps to the frig. As it turns out, the screws for the hinges were in just the right places to hold the straps. I had to cut them shorter, but they are working perfectly to stop my doors from opening too wide. Yes, I did make sure I could remove the drawers and shelves :) Now I can slide my frig in all the way!!

We have our own Jeep accessories business, so I just grabbed a set from our garage. However, you can find this material on something as simple as a dog leash. The Jeep straps are a double layer, but this material is fairly stong in general.

HTH at least a few people!!
