We use the spring rod on ours but we also use some of that rubber mesh no slip shelf covering material on each end of the rod to help keep it in place. We put the rod on the bottom of the door and it has stayed in place as long as I don't kick it moving in and out of the bedroom area while we are finishing up getting ready to move out.

I learned some time ago that the door latch won't hold the door closed in transit. We always travel with it open. The sliding latch itself was a joke given the cheezy way the bottom locking catch was mounted.

The bottom rail guide under the door is also a plastic guide and subject to breaking. Ours has already broken and allows the bottom of the door to move to the side binding the door a bit.
