How to keep patio door open in breeze

[garmcqui]

Hi all,

We have patio doors that we like to keep open when we're sitting in the garden. However even the slightest breeze blows them closed.

I'm wondering if there is something we can get which would "lock" them in place when they're open, or mean that they require a stern pull to shut them.

There is a "stay" attached to the top of each door which prevents it opening more than 90 degrees (from wall). I've attached some photos to show what I mean. I'm not sure if these could be replaced with lockable ones?



Thanks in advance

There are door stays with a 'hold open' function eg

Alternatively "cabin hooks" between the outside door and the wall behind

Tighten the little tiny brass screw slightly, this spreads the white nylon guide within the runner to add friction and your problem is fixed

^^^ what he said - I installed some 200mm hooks on our patio doors and they do the job perfectly.
