Fixing patio doors to the open position

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.45 PM

I am buying a top floor flat with a nice balcony. Trouble is the patio doors that open out onto the balcony - how do I keep them open? I know in the current flat I am renting, the guy changed the hinge so it could open all the way but I can see in the new flat that doesn't seem possible. Is there something that can be done to open the doors more or at least have them stay open without just putting something on the floor to keep them open? Hopefully this makes sense!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Would take 5 minutes to fit a restrictor hinge to the top of the door. This would enable you leave the door open. They cost around £15.00 and are fixed with 4 screws easy diy job.

Yes there are things you can buy to keep your door open. They are easy to fit.
