A friend has just had a pair of PVC patio doors installed in a new
extension. I'd have gone for sliding doors because the slightest breeze is
going to send the open door crashing into the light fitting on the wall.
I'm wondering what the best way is to prevent this. The light fittings
prevent the door going fully back against the wall so any kind of hook
arrangement would have to be pretty long reach. Also, the positioning of
fixings is presumably critical on this type of door with all those latches
and bolts and things.
Anyone tackled this problem? TIA

A chain limiter on the inside at the top is probably the most
practical/cheapest/neatest

That's going to be a lot of chain hanging down when the door is closed but
dealing with it from the inside makes sense.
