Hello - i have a pair of white aluminium French doors that open outwards onto a wooden decking verandah a few inches below. The problem is that when they are fully opened, the door handles hit the full height fixed glass windows either side. The best the installers can come up with is a cabin hook on the outer door frame to hold the door in place, but this does not overcome the fundamental problem of a sudden gust of wind catching an unsecured door and smashing the window. (They also want to charge 70 quid per door to fit them BTW). Another company has suggested a padded post or a pot plant positioned to stop the door hitting the window. Alliterative but impractical.
I know you can get a restrictor/stay for upvc doors that fits a groove in the top of the door and prevents opening beyond 90 deg, but apparently this does not work on aluminium doors. But SURELY there must be something out there designed to do this job? Or can some kind soul suggest a simple and elegant solution to the problem? Any help gratefully received.
