An aircraft galley compartment disposed within an aircraft galley monument, the aircraft galley compartment comprising:

• an enclosure configured to house a trolley, the enclosure comprising a rear surface, an upper wall, and opposing side walls, wherein a front side of the trolley upon stowing is disposed proximate an opening at a front surface of the enclosure, the front surface opposite the rear surface;
• a panel door hingedly coupled to an edge of the opening at the front surface of the enclosure, wherein the panel door, in a closed position, is configured to cover the opening at the front surface of the enclosure;
• and
• a retaining assembly for securing a lateral position of the trolley within the enclosure of the aircraft galley compartment, the retaining assembly including
• a turn button assembly including at least one turn button rotatably connected to a front edge of the enclosure, the at least one turn button configured to secure the lateral position of the trolley within the enclosure, wherein the at least one turn button of the turn button assembly is disposed on a front, vertically-oriented side edge of the aircraft galley compartment, wherein
• the at least one turn button is configured to rotate between a first position for allowing insertion or release of the trolley from the enclosure and a second position for securing the lateral position of the trolley within the enclosure,
• the at least one turn button positioned at or below a vertical position of a center of gravity (COG) of the trolley to prevent fore and/or aft movement and rotation of the trolley while experiencing flight or crash loads,
• a turn button recess disposed on an inner surface of the panel door at a position that is complementary to a position of the at least one turn button on the front edge of the enclosure, wherein
• the turn button recess is configured to receive the at least one turn button of the turn button assembly within the turn button recess when the at least one turn button is in the second position, thereby allowing the panel door to fully close over the opening for the enclosure,
• a door latch bar mounted to a front edge of the aircraft galley compartment, the door latch bar configured to secure the panel door to the front edge of the aircraft galley compartment, and
• at least one door stop disposed on the inner surface of the panel door adjacent to the turn button recess at a position on the inner surface of the panel door that is complementary to the first position of the at least one turn button on the front edge of the aircraft galley compartment, each of the at least one door stop extending outwardly away from the inner surface of the panel door.
