Doorstops? Simple? HA! :(

Hi Skew,
Have a look here : http://www.australiandoorfurniture.com.au/
under Our Catalogue > Door stops
There seems to be an extra high one there.

Also what about flush bolts with a long throw?
Cheers

you could use a chain on the upper corner of the door or if you also require a hold open device then use a stay similar to what you would use to hold open the lid of a box or chest. If you use the stay it will automatically hold open each time it is fully opened. I would find a specialty suplier of architecural hardware.

I think micks got the best idea, fit good quality door closers, they will look like they belong. Besides people might trip over those chrome phalluses:D

I've put a few options to the owner, now it's up to him to make the choice. [shrug]

Thanks for the feedback people, it's always good to have alternatives. :)

Any joy yet Skew?

Yep. Metal plates under the floor was the way to go.

I'm still going to turn some rings to go around the base of the top, but purely for cosmetic reasons... the owner wants 'em there. :)

totally too late and your customer probably would've vetoed them, but I have long throw door bolts here that go around 50mm and would easily be modified to go up to 70mm - brass and relatively attractive.

Because the doors are doubles, I'd already fixed flush-mount long throw bolts in the "knobless" door, to hold it shut when it's shut.

But the client wanted stops mainly to prevent the kiddlies from just throwing the doors wide open as they tear through like hurricanes. I had to agree; somehow I don't think they'd bother to take the time to open the door, line it up, throw the bolts... :D

There's a few thing I would've liked to have done differently if 'twas my own place, but... [shrug]
