If this company makes one for your model of refrigerator (which you didn't mention), it's the best there is:

Cut a piece of plywood to fit behind the handles to secure everything. Various other solutions have been posted, do a search.

Rob And the customer service is WOW. I broke my original, no fault of the product, and he shipped me a new one free of charge.

Amazon has several types of frig door locks. Check them out. I'm using a "generic" one from Amazon right now.

YUP ^^^^. This has to be by far the cheapest, easiest answer.... I used that for a few years, went to pack up and could NOT find mine, or any spares... I found an 12" rubber coated hose wrap like here - click
use that now, with a spare piece of velcro strap waiting in the wings

I haven't a problem with the frig doors. I bungy them and a piece of pool noodle through the door handles. I stopped the freezer door from opening with a telescoping pole brace from freezer door to table base. I just wanted a simpler way.I can't justify the price for the freezer fixer, over priced. I can make my own way cheaper.
