Here is what I did on mine:

1.  Make sure the latch gives you the full travel in both
directions.

2.  Start with the pin centered in the hole.  If it still opens, move
it a tiny bit toward the latch side.  Repeat until it doesn't open
by itself anymore.  Be careful though, you don't want to go so
far that it never opens again :-).
