Hi,

Being a clumsy oaf, I regularly knock the kitchen flap extension going in and out of the Eriba. 99% of the time doesn’t matter, but on a couple of occasions I’ve knocked the flap, it’s disengaged from the lip and collapsed down scattering stuff all over the place.

Anyone pimped their flap to stop it closing if knocked? A catch or bolt of some other smart solution?

At the moment we stuff a tea towel in the loop, ok temporary measure but would prefer something more permanent. Any ideas welcome.

I posted on the facebook page too. Got a great reply from Iain Gillespie.

Thought I’d post it here so it’s searchable in the future if anyone is looking for inspiration.

Phil fixed a very strong but small magnet to ours it keeps the metal flap in the correct position and it's worked extremely well. Got the magnet from Amazon I'll get the details if anyone is interested.

Will do Colin but not until we can get into the van what with the wind and the rain and the wind and the rain to take some pictures

Many thanks for the various approaches. Job done - I went for a sliding flat bolt. Had to replace the material band with a larger loop to make sure it cleared the extra height of the bolt.
