Need Solution For Storm Door Closer

12 years ago

I will be purchasing a storm door for my new back door and I was hoping somebody would know if a closer exists that fits what I want the door to actually do.

I only want door hardware that will prevent it from swinging too far out and from slamming shut. I don't want something that will cause / pull the door to close behind me.

All of the closers I'm seeing are the kind that will pull the door closed, unless you use that little clip thing. Because my entry door is on a step, I want to be able to fully open it and have it stay where ever I open it to, just like a normal door. Wind is not an issue, b/c this is inside a large covered patio. The only thing I want protection for is so the door doesn't accidentally swing too far out and crash into the wall near it, or slam closed and potentially break the glass.

I realize I could just put the door on a chain for goal #1, but what could I use to protect it from slamming shut? Thanks for your help.
