    Does the door open out?  If it does then rehanging it so that it opens in will reduce the force placed on it by the wind.

    Cheapest solution is to tell them that if they don't close the shed door properly when they get the bikes out, they will not have their bikes for a week.  That should concentrate their minds.
    Not just the cheapest, but the most effective solution too.

    Sadly it would seem that such chastisement is not permitted in the modern age.
