I'm putting some saloon type doors on an entrace to a deck. I want
the doors to be self closing like saloon doors. I have searched the
web quite a bit and only found wimpy cafe hinges that do not seem
suitable for outdoor use or for the weight of the door.
Any suggestions on where I can find a more robust set of hinges would
be appreciated.

They're expensive, but they will do what you want.

Here is an alternative, not sure how much they would hold up, but they are
considerably cheaper

They are expensive. And more than I want to pay. They don't look
like they swing both ways like I want them to. The ones below will
swing both ways and are in my price range. I wonder if they
self-close. It would appear that they will.

The thing you're looking for is a "double acting spring hinge"
You might want to take a look at
<http://www.mckinneyhinge.com/subcatalog.cfm?cat_id=125>. They have them
for doors weighing up to 325 pounds. Apparently you have to order them
through Yale or Essex locksmiths.
Also <http://www.locksearch.com/S_PARKER/Hinges.htm> that has a different
brand and appears to accept online orders.
