For the passive door, you can add the Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch Kit w/ Narrow Hasp for Small Enclosed Trailers - Zinc-Plated Steel # 383200 to keep that side door locked while the other is open. This will keep your door from catching the wind and opening. Another option I recommend is for the interior of the door using the Bolt-On Zinc Spring Latch # SL716 on the top and bottom of the door like pins in a traditional french door except on the interior.

If you want to hold the other door open so it doesn't swing closed on you, I recommend the Low Profile Bumper Door Holder # 37210665.
