I have a double/glazed aluminium outward opening front porch door which gets taken by wind. The standard stay fitted breaks and is therefore in danger of damage. Is the GEZE TS3000 BC successfully fitted in this situation?

Assuming the danger of damage you mention is to the door itself as it hits the reveal of the wall outside and/or to the hinges and frame when the wind levers the door out against the reveal?  The GEZE TS3000 BC, and any guide rail door closer, permits the door to open only to 120° maximum.  The BC refers to “back check” which will help in your case by providing resistance when the wind opens the door, however there will be extra force on the door which still has to be born by the closer and the hinges.  Since you are wanting to fit the closer to the opposite hinge side of door (push side) you will have to use the Figure 61 fixing.  You will need to check you have enough room on the frame for the body of the closer, and we strongly recommend buying a mounting plate, and bolting through the frame when fitting.  With all these caveats taken into careful onsideration, the TS3000 BC is theoretically a good choice for your scenario.
