Storm door retainer

Looking for overhead retaining arm for wooden storm door with inserts for winter, glass, summer screens. The missing part was an overhead bracket which retained the door from swinging all the way open. It has a simple open track with a wing nut to tighten if you wanted to lock open. The swing is about 18 inches. I do not want a cylinder or door closer which snaps the door on you when you try to pass through holding a dish. Temporarily I attached a black rubber tie down without the hooks. Reid with string. My wife hates this. Sorry I discarded the old bracket. See the picture of the door. About 18" swing needed but so it will not snap back on me

Hello, Jack. Please take a look at the Premium Touch n' Hold door closer, 40-080. This type of closer is used on Larson and Pella storm doors. If you have a wind problem you might also want to install the 40-036 storm door chain, but if not then the closer should be all you need.
