Hello,

I recently installed a rehau upvc exterior door. The door opens outwards, when the wind is blowing it swings out too quickly and I'm worried that in time it will damage the door.

I'm looking to get a door closure for it, which will hopefully stop it swinging out so quickly.

I was looking at the dormakaba door closures, but I can't find one that supports an outward opening door. Has anyone installed a door closure on an outward opening door ?

Usually you turn the mechanism upside down, to work on an outward opening door, the main body being mounted on the frame, rather than on the door, as is the case with an inwards opening door
