Question as follows, outswing therma tru fibreglass door, door is on a supply shed, often while left open while loading, wind comes up, blows door shut, or worse blows it open, stressing the hinges. i considered a storm door chain, but it would look like shi#, and would not help to hold the door open, thanks genecarp!!!!

You may be able to install a door closer at the top of the door. A door closer with a hold open feature ,for use when door is left open for loading might work. Try a locksmith supplier if there is one locally or look on line.

If you have room for a door closer, you can install a closer with an adjustible backcheck feature. They can be purchased at a hardware supplier or a glass co.
