Our Tall Lighthouse Door Stops are 49cm high and 18cm wide. These work well when your French doors have a step drop onto your patio or decking. They work particularly well in light winds however a strong gust could drag them over, so we suggest tying piece of cord from the door handle to the loop on the top just in case. This video explains how to stop your Lighthouse Door Stop from dragging over.

If you leave your French doors open in the wind and are concerned they might bang shut with possible expensive results, then  you may need a heavier door stop. Our Heavy Buoy Door Stop, weighs in at 6kg with a width of 25cm. The height is 20cm to the beginning of the loop handle. It has a really stable base so will be secure in a wind and is pretty stylish too. However in strong winds doors are most sensibly kept closed.
