Door catches

[Grassman247]

I’ve bought some really nice doors from GST fabrications online who I can’t recommend enough.

Trouble is the doors are so nice it seems criminal to weld something onto them to fasten them open while scraping sheds out


My old shed has this arrangement

Has anyone had any novel ways of fastening doors back?

Prop it with a fence post or tie it back with baler band. Or buy a bolt on drop bolt kit.

A big holding magnet on the end of a bit of chain?
Or even a big magnet on a bracket on the side of the shed

Not sure what they’re called or what they’re supposed to be used for but the local hardware store sells some 10mm threaded bar with a loop on the end. I drill through the door and fasten one of these on, the threaded bar is several inches long so needs to be cut down to suit.
I then fasten a piece of chain with a spring clip to the wall which hooks into the loop.
