My house is build on top of a hill. Lots of wind here, basically always. The wind would probably still blow the door shut. I put an auto latching gate latch on mine. I do have to "manually release it though. Never occurred to me how much work I'm doing unlatching the door. I mean, it's almost as much work as opening the door in the first place.

To the guy who invented the latch.... and apparently Tim.... is working a latch really so difficult as to be too lazy to use one? I mean, really? Do you walk into closed doors in your house too, because that pesky doorknob is just too damn much work.

They say there are two things that necessitate invention. Need, and laziness.
I frequently walk in to closed doors because I walk faster than I can turn the knob.
