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


Everyone here is on the right track but didn't tell you why the seal has
probably failed or how it works. These seals are magnetic and they
stick to the door frame which must be very smooth and clean. If you can
put a piece of paper anywhere in the seal with the door closed and
easily pull it out then the door (rubber magnetic) seal needs replacing.
They are a fairly common replacement component.
