    Magnetic Entrance Door Holder Catch

    As much as I love the magnetic door holders on the newer Imagines, the one on the entrance door is not strong enough to hold it open in windy conditions. My door has slammed shut more than once because of the wind. I'm trying to come up with a fix, but don't like the look of the old style "T" shaped catches. Has anyone come up with a more elegant solution?

    That is the direction that I'm heading toward. I just wanted to see if there are any other fixes that owners might have come up with.

    We have had the variety of keeps you mentioned, and always swapped them to their stainless steel equivalents after the plastic broke. Had the strut style too, and the wind would mangle it too. Replaced the strut I think 4x and the floor bracket twice. Have the magnet like you now. What I really want is a friction hinge and commercially type closer designed for RV! Lol!

    Reviving this old thread with my ingenious solution (while I'm patting myself on the back). Sometimes the best fixes are the easiest and cheapest!
