I use broom handles hanging on a nail that slides through a few conduit straps. Hang on the inside of the doors and let it drop down to keep doors open.
Hey, great video. I'm based in the UK and use 8" (200mm) cabin hooks from Amazon to achieve the same thing. The only difference is that cabin hools are rigid compared to chain-links.
Nice, thanks so much for the feedback! You have a great channel, where are the new videos? You would love "workbenchcon" which happens every spring in Atlanta, Georgia usually late winter.
@@EverydayShed Hi thanks for the comment on the channel. It's lack of time really that has meant I've not been able to put as much into the channel - Ironically, the success of my waste-side cut jig video has resulted in a growing business. Workbenchcon has been on my list for a while and I've promised myself a visit as and when I get back into putting out content.
I used neodymium magnets on the shed frame and painted steel plates on the door. I got the magnets from Amazon and they're rated at 75 lbs. Just open the doors and they click right in secure
I added the eyelets to the exterior like you did, but I put another one on the inside of my door with a bungee cord (with hooks) attached. I closed the one hook around the inside eyelet then use the other hook to bungee around the door and into the exterior eyelet. I did not want a random eyelet on the outside of my door trim.
I did something similar to my shed a while back and it is super useful 👍 Should just be a standard shed feature honestly.
Agreed!

Yes, sometimes the easy fixes are the best! Thanks
You could backed out the eye bolt a few turns for the extra length.

Nice, I like the idea and thanks for the feedback!
I did something similar but added a rubber stopper to prevent the door from getting damaged. You should do the same.
I appreciate the feedback!
Good idea. Thanks.
You bet 👍

How to put the hook on my shed if the door is wood but the shed part is metal?
You can use tek screws, they are meant to screw into metal.
I did this and a wind gust pulled the board loose from the door.
WOW! no way, how did you end up fixing?
@@EverydayShed I put a couple of wood screws in that board... The builder had used only small nails... hopefully the screws will have better grip.
or you could mount a golf ball to the door and a 1 1/2 in piece of pvc pipe to the shed and the door wont rattle in the wind
That is a cool solution. Maybe a Version 2 of this video 🤔
Had a coworker take a shed door to the mouth. Lost a few teeth in the process.
Dang! I would like to avoid that if possible 😬
Bro, it is 2024 you should be using magnets.
Good idea. Thanks.
