Default Upright freezer door won't stay closed

I have an old Kelvinator upright freezer sitting in the garage. Lately
the door won't stay closed. There's got to be a better solution than
duct tape. Thanks for any advice/suggestions. Mike


A level and a wrench. Maybe some shims. Unless the door is loose, reality
has changed, and the freezer is leaning forward. Adjust the legs till it
stays shut. Did you have a lot of rain and/or a dry spell lately? Your slab
may be moving. I assume you already checked the obvious, and the thing isn't
overloaded or frosted up so bad that the door doesn't shut tightly? And the
hinge screws haven't come loose from kids swinging on it or something? (When
they get bored, they'll make a jungle gym out of anything...)
