Twin Draft Guard
The reason I purchased this item is to block roaches from adjoining offices, to come under my door. The length of the guard was about an inch too short and the width too big, so I made alterations so it could snugly fit against each side of the door. It's basicaly round foam tubing, which is inserted into the pockets of cloth. It served its purpose and once completed, it looks nice.

Blocks outside odours
We live in a hight rise apartment and gets cigerette smell through the door at times, causing me severe headaches. I got this for the sole purpose of blocking the unbearable cigerette stench. There have been times when the entrance area would be filled with the smell in the mornings. We have used this draft blocker for a couple of days now and there is no smell. I wish to say this product has saved me a lot of pain... though I hope its not too soon to make a comment to jinx my luck!

I love this product!
I'm not quite sure why the other reviewers seem to have a problem with this product. I have two of them and have been using them for a few winters now. I love them. The foam is easy to cut and the nylon fabric is light enough to fold back over onto itself. It moves easily with the door when it's opened and closed (I have hardwood floors). The only slight problem I've encountered is that from time to time it will slip out lengthwise so that I can't close the door. But, it takes a millisecond to slide it back into place with my foot and I'm good to go for quite a while again. At $9.95 it's definitely worth giving it a try. I recommend this product.

Doesn't stay in place
The foam gets stuck under the door when you open and close. Best thing is to sew it so you can get a snug fit...but it's a bit of a hassle. I haven't had time to do so because I was hoping to just open it and use it problem free, so mine gets caught every time....really annoying. I'm sure I'll get around to it sometime. However...it does cover the draft.

Works well if modified
This product must be designed for extremely thick doors rather than a typical residential door. As other reviewers have commented, it's way too loose. However, I read those reviews before I purchased, so I was ready to make it work because I still think it's the best product of its kind on the market.

I bought 3 of these and put them on doors without thresholds. To make them fit the doors snugly, I simply stuffed plastic grocery bags inside the fabric alongside the foam tube. It took quite a while, but was well worth the end result. I stuffed one bag at a time using the blunt end of a pencil, working the folded bag all the way to the end, the shaking the pencil out and starting with the next bag until it was stuffed tight from end to end. I made sure the keep the bags on the same side of the foam so that it still looked somewhat uniform (albeit lumpy). I only had to do this on one side of each of the draft stoppers.

I'm very satisfied with the product now that they fit the doors snugly. I only gave it 3 stars since it had to be modified.

I'm sure this saved me much more money than I spent!
This was the best weather-proofing purchase I made last fall. I live in an apartment building with a door just inside the main building door which had a significant draft. I put these in and instantly noticed that the room stayed much warmer.

I bought these in the fall of '09 and they made it through the winter just fine. You do have to give them a little kick to push them back under the door before your shut it, because they will slide out, but I'm sure the could be fixed with some double-sided tape or something. I really don't mind it, though, it's part of my "door closing routine" now.

I actually plan to leave these in during the summer. I'm sure they'll keep just as much hot air out/cool air in as they did the opposite in winter.

About the notes about making them yourself...yes, you could, but for less than 20 bucks, is it really worth the trip to get the materials, time and effort? No way, they're plenty sturdy right out of the box, and it takes 2 min to put them in.

I also really like the free over-the-door hook that came with.

Works great with the right type of door.
I bought this item to help with a draft under the door between my kitchen and garage. There is no threshold at this door so I have about a 1/2 inch gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. This little product works great in this situation. There was a noticealbe difference in temperature in that corner during the cold months and I can see it helping to keep spiders and such out during warmer times. I cannot use it on any of my other exterior doors because of the thresholds but it does solve the problem I bought it for.

A great solution for bay area lofts
We bought a new-construction loft last winter, along with a new puppy who barked at ANYONE she heard walking outside. While on our family visits at Christmas last year, I found myself in a random drugstore and saw this product, and purchased it not for the draft-blocking properties, but in hopes it would also block out sound. The product looked cheaper than I thought--literally two lengths of cylinder foam within cheap brown canvas, blocked at the end by a velcro flap--but did the trick! It blocked a lot of the sound as well as drafts for a few months. The only time it failed was when the puppy got bored one day and chewed it into pieces! In the meantime, there are literally four other lofts on our level that STILL have the draft guard in their front doors (and I'm happy to say, it was after we first got ours!). It's now the end of summer, in the bay area, and those folks still have theirs on their doors. That should be a recommendation in itself, as these loft-buyers next door to us are very design oriented and yet use this inexpensive device. I'm here on Amazon to purchase our second set. If it weren't for the puppy eating the first one, we would still be enjoying the muffled sounds and drafts of our hallways, and I can't wait for our dogs to be much more mellow about what goes on outside the front door!

evaluation of door draft protector
I live in a retirement community with 250 apartments in our building. One of my friends has a neighbor who smokes quite a bit. The smoke seeps under her door and pollutes the air in the hallway. Several people are sensitive to this smoke and it has become quite a problem. I ordered the door draft protector and gave it to the administration of our building. They talked with the offending resident and succeeded in getting her to allow the draft protector to be installed. The neighboring residents say it has made a considerable difference and has improved their living conditions. Everyone is very happy with the solution. The device works as it was meant to and I find the whole matter was very successful.

Bad draft guard!
It looks like a really good idea. However, it does not stay under the door after it is inserted. It is really nothing more than two fabric tubes with some sort of styrofoam stuff in the middle. Maybe it is made for a different kind of door, but we tried it in a standard metal exterior door from Home Depot, with a vinyl floor inside the door. That sounds pretty standard. It moved at the wrong times and did not move when we tried to tightly close the door. What a mess! I would rather roll up a towel and put it by the door.

Not Just for Doors, Windows Too! Great for Summer too! Try it and Save Money Year Round!
Twin Draft GuardI don't write too many reviews, but after reading so many similar reviews on this product, I thought I'd add a much more diverse and useful cost saving approach to this product that makes its useful all year round. While some complain that you have to adjust it to fit some lengths of doors, I find that a bonus that you can custom fit your door and/or window. I live in a house built in the 1920's and while I am in the process of having the windows replaced, this is a project that will take time. In the meantime, I purchased several of these and placed more of mine around the base of the windows when securing the latch to create a better seal since I felt a draft during he Winter and it quickly stopped that leak. I was thinking of removing it for Spring when my friend said, "why let the cool air leak out"? With that, I decided she had a point. Why run the central A/C without a better seal? They are a useful item all year round and are keeping my cooling costs down in comparison so far compared to last year by a little, but every penny counts! I also have a friend that was rooming with a smoker and it was causing her some discomfort with her allergies. Since she lost her job and couldn't afford to lose the roommate, I gave her one of mine to try and it is helping considerably keeping the fumes in the roommate's room and out of the rest of the living quarters. Yes, it has to be adjusted a little here and there, but it is a small inconvenience for health and savings. I would recommend them for the small investment and variety of uses I have come up with to use them in the past few months. I hope you find this helpful.

Effective for keeping drafts out but needs constant adjustment
PROS: There's enough of a gap at the bottom of my front door that I can literally hear the cold air rushing in on a windy day. The Twin Draft Guard blocked out the cold air and kept the heat inside as advertised. I no longer felt or heard the cold wind, and the central heating didn't kick on nearly as much.

CONS: Sometimes becomes stuck when opening or closing door, which can be problematic when you're trying to keep pets from going outside. When I'm emptyhanded it only takes a second for me to readjust the guard; but is a huge hassle when I have to open and close the door several times in a row to bring in groceries, to the point that I would remove the guard and then put it back on when I was done.

Overall, the Twin Draft Guard did the job for an especially harsh winter but next year I will look for something that's easier to use.

Not bad
This product isn't half bad and does what it's supposed to do. It doesn't have as much weight to it as I would like, so sometimes it will not make a tight seal against the door. But if you are certain to press it up against the door it works just fine; you just have to keep a bit of an eye on it to make sure that nothing bumps it.

The loop on the end is quite nice, so you can hang it on a door knob or on a hook inside of your closet when it's not in use.

The fabric seems nice and it seems to be put together pretty well. Again, the major complaint is that it isn't heavier/thicker.

Where the Red Sox go from here

08.09.10

Re-signing Bay, then, remains a top right for the Red Sox, who anticipate event from perhaps as many as four to six teams. Keep a fast eye on the Angels, whose possessor, Arte Moreno, cited Bay's "exceptional bat and great makeup" as reasons they may along a run at him. Adding a power hitter is decisive to the Angels, with Vladimir Guerrero a free ingredient and in obvious deteriorate.

Moreno gave further credence to Bay being a prime goal when he ruled out a doable run at Holliday, saying "we are not looking at Holliday at all.'' Moreno, like Red Sox holder John W. Henry, felt burned by Boras during the Teixeira negotiations, and certainly he has no interest in repeating that endure.

The Giants were expected to be a competitor for Bay, but San Francisco GM Brian Sabean this week all but scotched that idea, saying he wasn't interested in being adapted to to drive up make available price. Bay, a local of British Columbia, has interest in Seattle, which scored the fewest runs in the American Federated with last season, but the Mariners have brilliant outfield defense and Bay would be a susceptibility in Safeco Mead. A more likely paramour is the Mets, though pitching would seem to be their acme need. The Yankees, of programme naturally, can never be ruled out.

Boston's other palpable need is shortstop, and bringing back Alex Gonzalez at a reduced class remains a rapport option, though it was uncommon to hear administrator Terry Francona earlier this week cite Gonzalez's reserved on-base portion (career .294) as a qualifying factor. Marco Scutaro , who had a terrific year in Toronto, would be a ticklish short-course solution and will prolong interest from the Sox, but his Type A natural-agent significance will be a factor, since it would cost Boston two draft picks, which is not something you give up for a 34-year-old compendious-timer. But the draft picks won't charge into play if the Dispirited Jays arbitrate not to offer him wages arbitration, a presentable scenario, and the Sox might be consenting to surrender picks if they get back some from the signing of their own free-born agents.

How do I fix the draft in my patio door?

Jan 29, 2008 by Mels | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

My sliding patio door has a draft between the stationary portion and the sliding portion when it is closed. When it is windy snow and/or rain will come through this space as well. I tried some weather stripping, but because it slides the adhesive has worn off. Does anyone know of a solution, or a different type of weatherstripping made for this issue? I have had no luck at hardware stores.

---

It is difficult, if not impossible to purchase off the shelf to re do weather stripping on the patio door.

See if you can find out the make of door from either construction drawing or going to Lowes, Menards, or Home Depot and try to identify the door. Could be Anderson, Pella, or about 10 others. If you can Order EXACT REPLACEMENT SEALS They cost about $25. I have an Anderson patio doors and they warranty those for 20 years and so far, I think Pella also has a 20 year warranty.

The second answer I have for you is to go out and buy a Patio Storm door. Those install right over the outside frame of the patio door with about 20 screws. Easy to do. I have 4 patio door each has a storm door. It will totally eliminate drafts as they are very tight seals around the storm door.

They cost around $129 to 169 each depending on width of the door. I would not be without them since once installed, the patio door, worth about a $1000 is also protected from the weather and will last literally 50 years, and not rot out.

Should I get rid of the second door (draft- door)?

Jun 08, 2006 by brc0102 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

At the moment, I have two doors in the lounge, one after the other with a metre gap. The outside door leads into the garden. This area between the doors is enclosed by glass on most sides.
I want to get the outside door double glazed and get rid of the whole glass panel and second door as the space is wasted right now.

Do such draft doors add any value to properties or is it better to have a bigger lounge with all the new added space?
I hope my question is clear. It's hard to explain without a picture.

---

I don't think you would lower the property value if the replacement glass and door is thermoinsulated or double paned. Sounds like a great area to create an atrium which would cut some of the glare and add a visually cooling effect during those hot summer months. I know what you mean about wasted space. We removed a bar/counter between the family and dining areas, built a new wall 2 ft into the living space and my kitchen and breakfast area seems HUGE now! Wish we'd done it years ago but everyone kept telling us it was a waste of time and money and wouldn't make that much of a difference.
