[delboy13]

i have two french doors from kitchen to garden and am looking for some hooks or something to stop doors shutting with abit of wind at the moment i use 1 of the kids toys but rather have something permanant anybody have any ideas

[daithi]

do they open in or out if in is there a wall behind the when open

ya could go cheap ass about it and hammer a nailinto wall and tie string to handle lol

or get some fancy hook made up that attaches to wall and can be attached to door by an eye that fixes to door

[delboy13]

they open out and yes there is a wall behind maybe on the weekend i will look at some sort of home made hook

If you have a wall that you can screw the hook to, then something like these ?

Mine do exactly the same.. i would tie something to the handle but they dont open all the way to the wall :(..id use a breeze block but ive not built the step yet so id need to build a 2ft wall to sit the breeze block on lol..

But in your case,.. visit wickes or a hardware store and buy an eye bolt.. and one of these..

If you have friction stays (http://www.hafele.co.uk/Hafele35a1/Images/Standard/911.52.149P1.JPEG) fitted at the top of each door you could always tighten them, usually with an allen key, to withstand mild winds. If its for stronger winds then cabin hooks are the best bet. If you have 'flag' hinges (http://www.upvcwindow-doorparts.co.uk/Sites/18/Products/1277/TRIAD-FLAG-HINGE-TRIAD-FLAG-HINGE-0.png) check to make sure they don't foul the brickwork, the finish chips easily.
