Large bifold door stop

[cdbe]

I have a large door that opens to approaching 180° before it hits the brickwork corner.
While I like the wide opening, I need a door stop and/or something to stop it being blown/slammed onto any door stop with excessive force - some kind of progressive damper etc?

Can it actually open fully against the wall or does it hit the brickwork at the jamb first?

Have you checked http://www.doorstopworld.com/. They can probably make anything you want.,

It's touching the brickwork in the second picture - that's what's stopping it at the moment (and the sandbag I've put there now ) I'm amazed it hasn't marked the frame. It's more something to slow it down, when a big gust of wind catches it it swings open violently and a swear it's going to snap the hinges off. I can imagine something like a fire door closer that doesn't do anything till the door is about 3/4 open.

They look quite interesting, and the magnetic ones, pity they don't make them with spring steel to absorb a bit of the wind force when the door hits them.

Think I might try that (or a heavier duty version). The only problem is that I don't think my alu door has a "eurogroove" so I'll have to have a think how I fit it.

Yeah tbh I wasn't suggesting that exact make/model would fit, however you might find one along the same lines that will.

Let us know how you get on.
