French door question

fretmeister

I have uPVC French Doors.

I would like to be able to hold one of them open about 1 inch to allow a bit of airflow but not a gale. It doesn't have to lock in that position as I wouldn't leave them unlocked anyway.

Is there a suitable product? I don't have the door related techical vocabulary for effective searches.

I'm hoping there is something a bit more elegant than a big elastic band round the handles and a bit of sponge in the gap!

I don't know if "one of my wife's flip-flops" is more elegant, but it's been my only solution for years now

I looked at those. I think they're to stop the door going back too far and smashing against a wall.

Open a window instead?

@boogieman  yeah but there is a little grub screw you can adjust to restrict the movement so it doesn't just swing open

We just had windows and doors done and replaced sliding patio door with french doors and while they look nicer that is the drawback, it's either fully hooked open or closed there is no 'open it a little'.

No biggie for us, when it really hot we open one side fully, when only quite hot/warm windows will do.
