Paper Towel Restraint

Our paper towel dispenser sometimes catches the wind from the windows and unspools the towels across the back of the van. We wrapped a rubber band around the roll for several years, but that proved to be suboptimal. I finally landed on this solution.

I took a piece of 1" wide elastic, about 12" long, and installed a female snap on each end. 



I attached male snaps to the cabinet in the locations shown below.




One advantage of using elastic for this purpose is that it accommodates whatever size the paper towel roll happens to be. We'll try it for a while and see how it works out.
