Accordian Door Latch

[SilverRhino]

Our BC has the accordion door that closes the bedroom off from the hall way. The latch that the factory installed consists basically of a screw through a peg type connector. This peg is supposed to keep the door closed when the receptacle in the door is pushed onto it.

Putting a screw into the thin paneling of the curved bathroom wall and expecting it to hold is a real "dream".

Has anyone else had a problem with this set-up??

I am thinking about attaching Velcro strips to the wall and the door edge for a better & more secure closure.

Any other ideas or thoughts?

With just the wife and I, I took the darn thing off the wall because it kept on trying to eat me everytime I walked by it. I'm a little wide bodied LOL.
