ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door includes walls forming therebetween a space that is filled with foam insulation. A door-locking device is mounted in the space and is covered by a shield which shields the door-locking device from the foam when the foam is being injected into the space. The shield includes a mounting edge facing one of the walls and forming a slight gap therewith into which the foam can travel. The edge includes a channel which forms an enlargement in the gap that ensures that the incoming foam hardens before reaching the interior of the shield and damaging the door-locking device.
