1 x 500mm Passivated Steel Restrictor Door Stay with Adjustable Friction pad - Holds Open at 135°

I have Anglian patio doors which can open past 90 degrees so I purchased 1 of the '1 x 500mm Passivated Steel Restrictor Door Stay with Adjustable Friction pad - Holds Open at 135°' - to see if it fitted. I ordered the second one once I had fitted the first successfully. The first one didn't come with instructions so I winged it as it was only a matter of ensuring there is enough travel to open and close the door. When the second one came it had instructions with it and a handy piece of information I could have done with for the first one was to lock the stay in place before fitting as this give you the end of the range at one end.The stay pops into the Euro groove which all modern doors have I believe, my photos will show you how it sits. The stay itself is sturdy and providing you fit it correctly, at the fully open position a pin in the stay pops into a retaining clip, a tug on the door pops it out and the door will close. There is a tension screw (see the photos) which is the restrictor and stops the door from swinging, you can adjust this to how stiff you want the doors. Since fitting, we've had a few windy days and only the stiffest of gusts have blown the door out of the retainer, the door then didn't slam as it would have before fitting the stay as the restrictor made sure there was enough resistance.Rather than use the screws provided I used these, excellent self tappers - 'uPVC Self Tapping Screws - 3.9mm X 32mm - 25 Pack' Some have said that the supplied screws are too long but as you'll see in my photo there isn't a lot of difference between the two (gold colour is the supplied screws).I should have bought these years ago, they are easy to fit and are doing the job of restricting the door opening and preventing door slamming.

I live in an exposed area and used these restrictors on two french doors (manufactured by Liniar). The double holes didnt line up as hoped but not a problem, screwing into PVC wasnt difficult but I did need to find a very short stubby screwdriver.Be aware though that these restrictors will not withstand particularly high gusts, a gentle breeze is okay, slightly stronger is okay but that's about as far as it goes.I do like the fact that having found why the original restrictors only allowed 90 degrees opening, these can allow up to 135 degrees or, if positioned correctly, anything up to 135 degrees before the doors hit an obstruction.Quality was as good as the original restrictors and fitted the eurogroove perfectly.

Fitted to French patio doors to keep open in the wind and stop from opening onto wall outside. Easy to fit and they work well

These were incredibly easy to fit and came with all required screws. It took less than 20 minutes to fit to 2 doors and worked perfectly first time.These door stays not only add some friction to the doors to stop them swinging, they also have a catch so that when doors are fully opened the catch is engaged and the door cannot be closed without some real grunt, I think this must be designed for leaving doors open in hurricane winds! We never actually open the doors all the way but the adjustable friction is more than enough to stop the doors moving in strong winds.These worked so well my neighbors asked me to order and fit a 90 degree one for their door, that also went without issue.

As above, it does the job well, keeping the french doors on my conservatory open. For thes doors, I needed one that could hold at more than 90° and these are what I could find. However, at twice the price of the 90° one I bought for another door, it feels like a bit of a rip off. Literally the only difference is an additional few cm in length of the slider track.

I had one o my restrictors broken for literally years now because i wasn't sure how to replace it or even if it could be replaced.Saw these while looking for something else and it reminded me i really need to do something before the wind shatters the patio door glass into a 1000 pieces...Bloody glad i did, these were so simple to fit, literally push the clip into the lock position and line it up, screw the small bar into the frame, open the door to where you want it to stop, and then screw the door screws in. job done. 10 mins. They are so good, and so simple, i changed the one on the non broken door too just for the hell of it.Wish i had done it years ago then my door wouldnt have a few marks where it hit the brickwork.

Installed it today and it works fine. The "hold open" feature is very good - it really holds the door open even in a strong breeze.However it took 1 hour to fit as my uPVC door from Everest has a metal frame just below the surface of the protective uPVC, and so the screws supplied were far too long for the shallow depth of the uPVC. Had to search my toolbox for 16mm screws instead. Also the uPVC was quite solid so pilot holes had to be drilled - despite the instructions saying pilot holes are not required. For that reason I give the door restrictor 4 stars.

I was looking for a door stay for the wooden door of our Summer house which kept blowing open in wind. Amazon was one of the few places where I found one that might work. This door stay (although designed for use with upvc doors with a eurogroove system) with a bit of work on the top of the door proved to be the ideal answer. It did mean chiselling out a channel in the top of the door, but this cant be seen - and the end result is great. The door is held steady and locks at the end of the stay to ensure that it doesn't close unless needed.The description of this item by the seller is also first class - and made me try it in the first place. I wish more sellers gave this amount of detail in their product presentations.
