I think we are at odds over terminology here.
With the fridge slide right out, there is the lenght of the slide between it (or the back of the fridge) and the barrier.
My 60 litre Engel takes up the full length of the slide. When installed, there is only an inch or so clearance between the top of the fridge and the shelf above it. When the slide is fully extended, there is about a 5-6 inch gap over the back end of the top into the cavity left by sliding out the fridge. I then reach over this and one-handed hook the two halves of my back straps together, and pull the end to tighten the straps. The plug socket on the fridge is just clear of the side of the cupboard, so can plug it in when full extended.
My straps are those 2 piece numbers, one end each tied to the slide and the fridge handle. A hook doover on one end sits in a loop thingo on the other, then simply pull tight.
The hole through the barrier (about 6" high, 12" long) is only to recover stuff that has fallen off the front of the shelf. I don't use it for putting the fridge in or tying it down.
