🔒 DIY Van Drawer Rotation Lock – Rattle-Free Travel Solution

Designed specifically for van conversions, this simple yet effective rotating drawer lock keeps your drawers securely shut while you’re on the move. No more rattling, sliding open, or contents spilling out when driving over bumps.

🛠️ How It Works

The lock is screwed to the drawer frame (typically one on each side).

Once installed, it rotates around a central screw pivot to swing over the drawer front, physically blocking it from opening. A quick twist releases it when you need access.

Simple. Reliable. No springs. No magnets. No complex mechanisms.
