Is there a particular name for the following type of door stay?
It has a flat metal bar which fits between two brackets, one on the door one on frame at the top of the door. As you open the door it latches in the fully open position and to release it to allow it to close there is a pull cord. Often used on industrial and garage doors.
I can't seem to be able to find any locally.
Search for door latches
I know the one you're on about? the type it latches to the bracket and you push the door back a bit to release the latch.
I think its code 24725 you're after?
The3rd Earl Of Derby pretended :
No, this is just to hold the door in a wide open position possibly against the wind, until the cord is pulled to release the catch.
Thanks anyway.
That it!

fifties. Dead good they were, strong, reliable and easy to use.
Jolly good :-)
