Door stay?
 

Is there a particular name for the following type of door stay?

It has a flat metal bar which fits between two brackets, one on the
door one on frame at the top of the door. As you open the door it
latches in the fully open position and to release it to allow it to
close there is a pull cord. Often used on industrial and garage doors.

I can't seem to be able to find any locally.

Search for door latches

I know the one you're on about? the type it latches to the bracket and you
push the door back a bit to release the latch.

No, this is just to hold the door in a wide open position possibly
against the wind, until the cord is pulled to release the catch.

Thanks anyway.

I remeber them. Dad fitted some to the garage he built in the late
fifties. Dead good they were, strong, reliable and easy to use.
