I'm looking for a supplier of a type of latching door stop/stay that I
have seen on boats. Without a meaningful name the search is proving
difficult. I'll try to describe the gadget:

The idea is that the door opens to, say, 90deg and comes up against a
bracket level with the top of the door and bolted to the hinge wall.
As it approaches the bracket (and attached buffer) the top of the door
lifts and passes below a weighted latch. This latch drops in front of
the door preventing it from closing. The latch is lifted to allow the
door to close. The bracket looks a bit like a one of the mounts for
an aerial mast IIRC.

Do you mean the sort of clip that holds the flap in a pub counter in the up
position? Can't think what they are called though.
