Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hampton Direct Twin Draft Guard Window/Door Insulating Device with Over-the-Door Hook, Brown, 2-PackCustomer Review: Flimsy, Messy, Unfit for Advertised Purpose Summary: 1 StarsReasons I regret purchasing the Hampton Direct Twin Draft Guard:
1. Flimsy: I bought the draft guard as a temporary fix and to experiment with cutting down the heating bill. I had low expectations regarding the durability of this product based on other reviews I read, but the draft guard was still worse than expected. The draft guard comes in 7 pieces: 1 cloth casing,4 foam pieces, 2 "connectors" for the foam pieces. The cloth case has two pockets - one to hold the two pieces of foam that sit on each side of the door. The foam that goes into the pockets is actually two pieces that connect with a plastic tube. The pieces become disjointed easily when you open and close the door because the extra fabric of the case bunches up. It is hard to explain, but you end up with a floppy foam rod on each end of the door.
2. Messy: The draft guard does not sit tight against the door as it looks in the picture. I have standard doors and there is half an inch gap between the door and the foam rod on either side of the door. It looks like I shoved some leftover fabric against the bottom of the door.
3. Unfit for advertised purpose: Another consequence of the extra fabric is that it starts bunching up and often starts to roll under the door when you are opening the door! This is not only annoying, but it has actually jammed the door a few times to the point that I could not open the door without reaching around to yank the guard out from underneath the door.
Honestly I would only recommend this product for an indoor door that you rarely use. For example, the room to a door that you keep shut off from the rest of the house when you are trying to cut down your heating bill.
