We have had bifold alu doors fitted at the back where it gets very windy. In summer when the doors are open, the access door will be free to swing open and will not stop until the frame hits the reveal. This will damage the frame and could even damage the hinges by leverage.
We need something, which will stop the swinging door then capture it. I have searched through all the online door furniture catalogues without success so I am thinking of knocking up a bracket, which will be screwed to the reveal and braced to the wall outside, incorporating both a buffer and a clip to hold the door in place.
I could sink a post into the ground and use a hook but I am certain that either Grandma or our absent-minded son will one day forget to hook the door, which will fly open and self-destruct. Only one violent swing will be enough to damage the frame.
Anybody got any suggestions for a ready-made solution or home-made?
