My model III doors won't stay latched. I've come up with a lot of schemes to remedy this, but thought I'd ask the community out there what your experiences are.
Thanks,

Chuck, what kind of latches are on your three?
I've seen a couple versions.
A photo would help you get the best help.

So a couple years ago I'm approaching Fisk on my way to Airventure and my passenger door pops open. Out fly all my charts, various papers and a brand new shirt. The Fisk controller calls out, "Highwing with your dirty laundry trailing behind, rock your wings." I don't know how I was able to reach the door across all my luggage, but somehow I got the door closed. And it never popped open again until touchdown on runway 27.
That's the story of my motivation to fix my door latch.
