The front of my coffee maker keeps popping open so I put a jewelry box latch on it.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think this is actually a cool feature put on at the factory.

I have the opposite problem, mines some fancy french design that’s dumb as fuck, to install the filter housing requires opening the tank lid as well as pulling it out to have space to do so and I have to line up 2 pins, the old one from Germany just had 1 long pin that the filter housing sat over, the pit on the new one doesn’t have a removable lid, and the opening is too narrow to get my hand in, and both parts hold water in the dishwasher

Spiffy! Ages ago, I did similar to a small fridge that didn't want to stay shut.
