You ever notice they still take the doors off refrigerators when they put them out for the trash? It made sense when the door had latches, and a kid could get stuck inside, but now that they are magnetic and can just be pushed open from the inside, I don't really get it. Just tradition?

An old law still on the books maybe?

I assure you, there are people who wouldn't think to "PUSH" and would rot in there. I might think it's an acceptable Darwinian result, but some people probably object to dumb people rotting to death in refrigerators.

How do you know? Climbed in a fridge lately?

Some doors get a good suction seal and are surprisingly hard to open, especially for smaller children who are the type to climb in a refrigerator. My almost-5-year-old could definitely get out of our kitchen fridge, and probably the one in the garage, but the almost-3-year-old couldn't get out of either.

No, but the doors require the same force to push open as to pull open, and I can pull them open with a finger or two. A kid "trapped" inside could easily push one open with their body weight by leaning on the door. Sure, I could envision a series of events that might lead to a kid being trapped in one, but it's much less likely than when I was a kid and the doors had latches.

I've not seen this type of fridge, but I'll take your word for it. They seem to be getting bigger and more industrial style these days.

Admittedly, we like our refrigerators precisely because they're hard to open, and thus harder for little gypsy hands to pilfer from.

There are certainly easier ones on the market.
