We are finally entering the home stretch!!! There are a couple of small items left to be taken care of. First off, remember those intake vents we made way back at the beginning of the build? Well, we need some covers for them in order to control air flow.
I went a little fancy in what I did but by no means is that necessary. Your dampers can be as simple as a bunch of coffee can lids screwed down at one end so they can be swung in front of or away from the intake vents. I went with a more elegant solution. Using a couple of DIN rails and more conduit covers, I made a sliding rail system that my covers could slide along.

Our next item to take care of is the door latch. I removed the latching mechanism that came with the fridge because a large part of it was made of plastic and I didn't want any of that getting into my food. I replaced it with a simple sliding latch. I needed to mount the holding part of the mechanism on an additional piece of metal to extend it far enough to catch. You may or may not have to do the same thing.
