Arrow Entry Door Opens At Highway Speed

Don't know if it's "Old Timers Disease" (forgetting to lock door) or what. Twice, while traveling at Highway speed, the entry door opened. I had handrail closed over door. Had been traveling over rough roads.

I came up with an upgrade that guarantees the door won't open, even if I forget to lock. 8" Rubber Hood Latch $6.97. Also doubles as a door stop when not holding door shut.

If you deadbolt the door, it can’t open even on bumpy roads.
