French door restrictor question - windy weather use

    we have newly fitted french doors at the rear of the house. when it was really windy last night, the wind caught the door and flung it open, pulling it out of my hands.
    I'm wondering if there is something that can be fitted to a door that can prevent this. I was worried last night that the hinges had broken,but thankfully it was only the restrictor that had pulled out of the catch.

    You can purchase an arm for the door.

    Something like this.
