If you use a golfing tee - use a plastic one and you can run grooves around it with a soldering iron so that it catches in the open and closed positions.

Hi, does anyone know if there is a similar device to hold a Westy fridge door ajar when not used for long periods? It is a RM 184 fridge with the westy door attached to the fridge door.

Cheers

Zeb
