PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator that can improve safety by reliably locking a heat insulating door when an earthquake occurs.SOLUTION: A refrigerator 1 comprises: a main body part 2 including a storage chamber opened at the front; a heat insulating door 15 pivotally supported by the main body part 2 with a vertical pivot support shaft C to open/close the front of the storage chamber 5; and a lock mechanism 40 including a lever member 43 capable of rotating in a vertical plane, and attached to one of the main body part 2 and the heat insulating door 15. When the lock mechanism 40 vibrates, a front end of the lever member 43 moves up and down and locks a closed state of the heat insulating door 15. The lock mechanism 40 is arranged near the pivot support shaft C.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】地震発生時に断熱扉を確実にロックして安全性を向上できる冷蔵庫を提供する。【解決手段】前面を開口した貯蔵室を有する本体部２と、鉛直な枢支軸Ｃで本体部２に枢支されて貯蔵室５の前面を開閉する断熱扉１５と、鉛直面内で回動可能なレバー部材４３を有して本体部２及び断熱扉１５の一方に取り付けられるロック機構４０とを備え、ロック機構４０が振動したときにレバー部材４３の前端が上下動して断熱扉１５の閉止状態をロックする冷蔵庫１において、ロック機構４０を枢支軸Ｃの近傍に配置した。【選択図】図８
