    Large Drawer Under TV Keeps Opening During Travel Days

    We have had this drawer come open several times now during travel days. The latch seems to function properly and the drawer only has <10 lbs. of weight in it. What have you used to stop this from happening? I see a few have added extra latches. Is this the best solution?

    Appreciate any feedback.

    You can add extra latches, but sometime it just needs an adjustment

    We had the same problem with our Reflection 337. I added two more of the catches and it solved the problem.

    Thanks Rob -
    I will get a couple on order today. Along with trueing up the drawer slides if they are out of square. Had not thought to check on that. Seems like a drawer of this size should have a couple of locks installed at the factory. I could see this drawer sliding out and ending up on the floor while traveling.

    I just picked up two of the catches at Home Depot last week for some doors... about $1.25 each.

    One would think. It happened to us, twice. I replaced the drawer slides with positive catch, soft close, slides, and have a plastic child latch installed as well.
