Tools and Hardware Reviews of Twin Draft Guard Brown
Customer Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
It's very flimsy, thin fabric with 2 stryofoam tubes. Doesn't work and not worth it.Customer Review: Huge waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is a piece of junk. My nephews could have made a more impressive insulator. I would venture to say there is about 50 cents worth of material all together. The styrofoam is too small to fill the case; also it bends away from the door due to the odd folding and shipping it undergoes. Unless your door is flush with the floor it will not stay put. Don't waste your money. Shove a towel under your door- it will be cheaper, work better, and be more aesthetically pleasing.Customer Review: I can't believe I fell for it
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe I got taken again by an "as seen on TV" product. This one is as bad as the doggie toenail rotary filer. It doesn't work at all. It just bunches up and gets crammed under the door. I thought I could at least use it to keep the drafts out by sort of placing it in front of the door when the door is closed, but then the dog thought it was a dog toy and he ate it. Now I have little chunks of foam rubber all over the place. Boy do I feel dumb.
Look at the door in the picture. Notice how there is no carpet, no door jam, no obstacle of any kind on either side of the door. Does your door look like that? Or is there a raised ridge, or a difference in elevation, or any other kind of floor element that will cause any kind of friction? Because unless you have a perfect door on a perfectly flat floor, this product will not work.
Save your money and buy your dog a toy that he can chew on without making a mess and possibly killing himself.
Customer Review: I found the solution to the lose fit of the "Twin Draft Guard"!
Summary: 5 Stars
I left this review in a few places (comment sections).
I found the solution to the lose fit of the "Twin Draft Guard"!!!
I was having the same problem as a few others about the sloppy fit of this item.
Solution: I went to Lowes and bought one ¾ inch PVC pipe insulation FOAM.
This foam is of the stiff kind (while holding the middle of the foam insulation, both ends should stick out. If when holding the foam insulation both ends flop down, then you've got the wrong foam insulation.) and should cost no more than a $1.30.
Make sure you get the uncut version of this pipe insulation foam. This foam is a bit wider than the foam that comes with the "Twin Draft Guard" (TDG).
One side of the foam insulation slipped into the TDG reasonable but the other side I had to massage it in (a little difficult). That alone made it go from a sloppy fit to a nice snug-to-tight fit.
Now, to stop it from sliding off the door when I open the door between the hallway and room... I put a thumbtack at the very end of the TDG under the door.
Perfect! It's now snug and doesn't slide off the door when opening or closing the door.
Hopefully this will help others.
Customer Review: In theory a great idea
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought we had found the perfect solution for the many cold drafts in our home, and in all honesty when the door is closed and the twin guard in place - it does block a good amount of the draft, but the problem in our case was when we actually started using the door, the draft guard doesn't stay in place, and begins sliding off. Theres nothing to hold it in place. The product is actually made up of two individual foam tubes that need to be inserted into the cover that you see in photos. The foam is extremely light and cheap, which i think in part accounts for some if the issues we encountered.
Typical scenario: trying to open/close the front door with hands full, the door wont move freely because opening it has caused draft guard to slide partially off the door and it's now caught on the threshold. Not only has it begun to slide off the door, but the foam has started to come out of the cover, making it impossible for me to reposition with my foot. Each time I use the door I have to have free hands to make sure that everything stays in place, which it wont do on its own.
Now, don't say I didn't warn you.
