We took delivery of our Big Horn 3670 in May... And we love it...
One issue we have is that the Barrel Cabinet at the end of the Island Sink will not stay shut during our travels. Our dealer provided us with new replacement latches which I installed, but this did not help... Every time we travel, the door opens and our spices end up all over the place. We do not have it heavily loaded... it is mainly spices (I have read that others load it with water and drinks with no issues).
I even tried putting some velcro at the top of the door, this did not do the trick either... When the door is closed, there appears to be a 'natural' gap at the top but nothing at the bottom. Perhaps the door is warped and this is causing the problems?
I have spoken to others with this cabinet, and they say that they have no issues. I literally believe that our cabinet would open if someone brushed against it when walking buy... this is how loosely it latches.
We have resorted to using duct tape on the top and bottom to hold it shut during our travels, but I don't like doing this as I fear it will eventually harm the finish. I have heard the suggestions of putting screws in the cabinet and the adjacent cupboard and using hair ties or some sort of childproof catch... but I'd prefer that it be fixed so it works on its own (like others indicate theirs works) I really don't want screws sticking out of my cabinet so I can tie it shut in my travels.
Has anyone at the factory run into this situation? or do you have a resolution?
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thank you.
