What can i use to keep a patio door open ...

... apart from a piece of wood in the rail at the bottom

Our 2 yr old keeps shutting the door and is now taking the piece of wood out.

How about a Cabin Hook, like THIS but maybe a longer one.
Screw the hook onto the wall or frame and the eye onto the patio door (avoiding the glass!)

deanos

Yeah that might work, will have a look at them in Homebase

Some form of hook and a bungee cord.?

Should keep springing back when released..

another game..

Though, our little one does things, and we let him, then he gets bored of it, only when mummy chases him, then it becomes a game..

he is 15months old..

We used a piece of wooden curtain pole cut so it was a tight fit and had to be pushed into place - none of the kids could ever get it out. As it was round it slotted nicely into the bottom of the door.
