Exactly the level of detail I was after - brilliant, thank you

[@DGPSUK]

Excellent Ben thank you, always nice to hear if a video I do helps ☺️

[@terrymorton9941]

Thanks the most informative on youtube.

[@DGPSUK]

Thank you 😊

[@victoriaclare7627]

Thank you! This is just the info I needed to fit mine, very clear!

[@DGPSUK]

Excellent, so happy it helped 😊

[@Tommyall]

Thank you, this has helped me, I knew how they went on but needed that extra check as haven’t done one in a while and have a few to do on a job soon 👍

[@DGPSUK]

Happy it helped 😊

Great video - wish they were all done this well. Thanks! What would you install as a door stay, for French doors that open outside and are prone to getting blown about in the Glasgow wind?

[@DGPSUK]

@@RetroNels thanks 😊 🙏 To be honest there isn't much on the market, we do a hold open restrictor that works in mild wind (link below) but anything crazy like last night you really need to use a permanent fix like cabin hooks 😊 www.double-glazing-parts-spares.co.uk/Hold-Open-Door-Restrictor

Very welcome 😊

Hello, thank you for this video and taking the time to answer questions. I'd like to know if the restrictor stops the door from slamming shut. Thank you.

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, it doesn't but we do offer a similar restrictor which does... www.double-glazing-parts-spares.co.uk/Hold-Open-Door-Restrictor

My back door opens outwards, and gets battered against the sill in the wind. Would this be strong enough to withstand a gust?

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, it will stop the door going by 90 degrees but doesn't hold the door open.

[@cunniffelove]

My screw become blunt as i screw into the door frame as it seems solid. Any suggestions?

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, could you send an image of the issue to [e-mail] 😊

[@KathyWhite-f2s]

I have add my restricter but the door won’t close - any ideas.

[@KathyWhite-f2s]

Oops I didn’t fully extend the restricter

[@DGPSUK]

@@KathyWhite-f2s is it now working

[@KatherineTOwen]

thank you so much. can it be greater than 90, say 110?

[@DGPSUK]

Very welcome, yes you can set it at various angles

[@aldavis2692]

what size screws

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, we use 3.9 x 32mm

[@aldavis2692]

are they self drilling@@DGPSUK

[@DGPSUK]

@@aldavis2692 yes self drilling as there should be reinforcement in the frames 👍

[@aldavis2692]

I can only dfind 4mmx 32 will these do @@DGPSUK

[@aldavis2692]

@@DGPSUK are the measurements the same for 90 degree oppening 110 from edge thank you

[@alseveron6558]

It doesn't look very well desigened to me, as a stromg wind gust would create massive leverage on the device, probably breaking it. Furthermore, the sliding pice should be installed in the frame (not the door). Then it won't get so exposed to the elements, birdshit, etc.

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, these restrictors are not designed to hold doors open but rather to prevent them from swinging around and hitting the wall. While there are proper hold-open devices that can withstand winds, nothing is entirely foolproof. These restrictors are made of stainless steel, so corrosion is rarely an issue. On timber and aluminum profiles, you may find integrated restrictors, but PVC profiles typically use the standard eurogroove, leaving no place for such components to be concealed. The main cause of wear on these restrictors is overextending or applying excessive pressure, which can push them beyond their preset limits.

[@alseveron6558]

@@DGPSUK Thanks for the info. I need something that will withstand powerful wind gusts. Can you suggest something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

[@DGPSUK]

@alseveron6558 Hi, the strongest cheapest solution would be cabin hooks, there isn't much out there that will hold these secure on a budget, I'm actually struggling to think of a product. Cabin hooks are what we install in extreme cases.

[@alseveron6558]

@@DGPSUK I appreciate the suggestion - thank you. I actually opted for a restrainer, similar to the one in your video. It looks stronger than I expected, but I'll keep the friction adjuster on fairly stiff, and make sure not to leave the door wide open in storm force winds...
