I am trying to find, or make something to hold the back doors open so
they don't blow in the wind. The doors are two sets of three folding
sliding doors and there is a deck immediately outside the doors.

My idea is to have a bolt that is recessed in to the decking that I can
push with my foot to lift it up then push it again to lower it.

Does anyone know what these things are called or where I might get them
from?

I didn't think that was what Alun wanted, but if it is...

screwfix part no 47718-81 Door Holder.

I did look at these devices but it is not what I want as I really don't
want to drill the doors.

Another thought would be some kind of spring loaded wedge that would
fold down as the door passed over it then spring up in front stopping
the door from blowing.

Lidl have some *very* good and strong wedge door stops next Thursday.

I got two last time and will get another 4 this time
The price is GBP 2.49 per *pair*.

As always the craziest things get snapped up in a short time, so try to get
to the local store when it opens, they may be gone by evening. When they
are gone they are gone.

Have a look at this page (scroll down to 'gate stops'):

I doubt if these would suit your purpose as they stand but you could easily
make up something similar (with flat top surface) which could be let into
the deck.

That would be comparatively simple to engineer, too. You could knock one
out out of cannibalised brass things in an afternoon with simple tools.
