ABSTRACT:
A door with a magnetic sealing strip as a latching means in a refrigerator in a house trailer or the like, may be inadvertently opened when the trailer moves and turns. This is prevented by a movable latching means disposed separately from the latch and arranged under the influence of the force of inertia and against the action of a spring to be brought into a latching position against the door. The force of the spring is selected so as to move the latching means out of engagement with the door when the action of said force of inertia is less than the door latch retaining force.
