Ideas for a wall mounted latch?

[J0no]

Hello all,

wonder if you can help. My bifolds doors when opened has no latch or door stop to stop it hitting the wall. Can anyone recommend a suitable latch mechanism or door hold that will keep the door open and is easy to undo to shut the door. I was thinking of something I could attach to the wall? When fully open the door connects to the wall at an angle which has got me stumped. I don't really want something on the floor if possible- as the bottom of the door is around 30cm off the floor.

Thanks in advance,

Jono

Would something as simple as a wooden post on the wall to catch the door work?
I presume you just want to prevent it scraping on the wall rather than needing to hold it in position?

Are you prepared to fit part of the latch to the door?

Cabin hook.

Or magnetic doorstop

Thanks all for your responses will take all on board. Looking at the magnetic option, will just have to ensure corresponding receiver is set at an angle to receve the magnet attached to the door.

Yes it just needs a little ingenuity to make it look on purpose/slick.

Nothing I can think of ready made, but - what about......

A piece of timber, fixed to the wall, at height to match the latch/lock of the door. Add to that, a loop of rope, attached to the piece of timber. The loop hooks around the door handle retain it open.

If there are any steel components in the door - the loop of rope, could perhaps be replaced with a strong magnet.

That's a friction restrictor that restricts the opening to 90°, unless that's OK with the OP. All assuming it's compatible.

you could try : https://jcphardware.co.uk/maco-tech-90-degree-door-restrictor-stay-hold-open-335mm/ as they have a latch lock system, they come in other opening degrees.

Search for stay open restricters.
