Remove the doors and reinstall them at the exterior face of the opening.
As exterior doors, can one assume they are self-closing, and possibly equipped with recessed floor closers given their arched head? Such closers are available with dead stops and even hold opens. It may be worth investigating the options available to closing device.
Hard to see how deep this entryway is.
Are there photos of the interior side?
#6-B/F adjustable closer Bracket by Norton Rixson (sorry I know your an Allegion person and I don’t know an equivalent Allegion product). Its specifically designed for the Norton 78-B/F Series closers to accommodate top-rail constraints on specialized doors.
A note of explanation on this. When this chapel was constructed, five years ago, the builder used a simple goose neck floor stop. Six months into use, the snapped off and the brick arch façade had served as the “stop”. Needless to say, but the brick is showing signs of damage from the curvature of the door hitting.
Open the doors at 90 degrees lift and un hang the doors then add heavy duty hinge stops check the gap around the top of frame for how thick the stops can be so doors don’t rub the top of the frame 2 people needed for this task stops must be adjustable for opening degree
