Camper Drawer Lock

Simple but effective no-drill drawer lock for campers, RVs, etc. The top drawer in the kitchen area of our Coleman 21RX camper has a weak magnet latch; the drawer always slid open during travel. Rather than purchasing another magnet latch (and possibly drilling more holes) I took a few measurements above the drawer and cobbled together this no-drill drawer lock in TinkerCAD. Several pieces of adhesive hook-and-loop type felt were cut and attached to the faces of the drawer lock that come into contact with the drawer face, the drawer top, and the underside of the counter top area extending above the drawer, making for a snug fit and for protection of the surfaces. After opening the drawer, the lock is held at an angle on the drawer top, then the drawer is shut, pulling the lock into place. Successfully road-tested on our last camping trip. I am posting this mainly to share the idea so that others can design a no-drill drawer lock (or modify the dimensions of this one) according to their own specifications.
