5.0 out of 5 stars I found the solution to the lose fit of the "Twin Draft Guard"!, May 22, 2008

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great for older doors or doors with large drafts, January 15, 2007

Although the draft guard does block some of the draft, it doesn't block it entirely. The guard isn't snug under the door and tends to require repositioning. I was also less than impressed with the "technology"- two rolls of foam tucked into some cheap fabric. Filling an old pair of nylons/pantyhose with rice and tying the ends worked better and was far cheaper. Stick to the cute draft guards/blockers with snowmen or moose you can get cheap after Christmas.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless unless it fits *JUST* right, January 12, 2008

This item is useless. I imagine it *might* work if my door were precisely wide enough to fill the channel created by the cloth cover, which *might* possibly cinch the two styrofoam sides of the doorguard flush with the door. But since my door isn't wide enough to fill that channel, the installed DraftGuard rides above the gap in the doorframe, which of course defeats its purpose. (See my photo in the Photo Gallery)

Further, the styrofoam tube is bent into a circl for mailing, and once installed the styrofoam naturally curves upward, away from the gap between the door and the frame, again defeating the purpose.

Finally: My guess is that there's around 40-50 cents worth of material in this item. Think twice before you buy this item.

HOWEVER, I'm pleased to report that "Get Organized" (the Amazon merchant that sells this item) promptly issued me a refund.
