Magnetic catch / wind protector for external doors

Hi there,

I have some new external doors (photos provided) and trying to figure out a way to keep them open in light wind without them banging the brickwork surrounding them. The doors are French style patio doors, but as you can see they open at an angle colliding with the surface of the recessed brickwork in the second photo. I am struggling to figure out whether to use a magnetic catch or hook-like structure, as I can't see where these would be installed (neither inside the brick recess or on external surface provides a direct line of sight to the door). If you have ideas or have similar doors would love to hear from you!


Thank you,
Andrew

Door stop on the brick work and when open place something in front of the door to stop it from banging closed in a small breeze.

The restrictor would work but would need a channel routering into the head of the door and the frame as there isn't enough clearance , easiest option is to fit some cabin hooks
 
Lots of stays available for all door types .
Though I did initially make these for my doors .
