Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hampton Direct Twin Draft Guard Window/Door Insulating Device with Over-the-Door Hook, Brown, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Other reviwers are right
Summary: 4 Stars
The materials are kind of cheap. The channels the foam tubes slide into are kind of flimsy. But what do you want? They are going to drag along the ground. The channels are also baggy. Not so much that I am going to take the initiative to buy bigger foam like other reviewers, but that is a good idea.
They were also correct in that this WON'T work on any kind of a door with a threshold. It just won't.
I bought the set of two but I thought I needed three - I'm glad I didn't order all I thought I needed so I'd have a chance to test them out. Only the doors I needed them for is internal and has no threshold, so I can only use one. The other draft guard that came with it, I am about to donate to my local charity thrift shop - someone will put it to good use.
The over the door hook that it comes with is pretty good quality, and while THAT was the bit I was expecting to give away to charity, it is actually really handy.
All in all, this is pretty good value. Even if I can only use one of the draft guards.
Customer Review: It worked for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this with the assumption that it was another TV gimmick. Surprisingly it worked for me. I have a 100+ year old home and I have drafts everywhere. It worked pretty well on windows and some interior doors. I'm not sure if it works for every application. Probably hit or miss. My doors are pretty think compared to modern doors. They haven't come off either after a month of opening and closing. Not sure if it will work as well with modern doors. Also I'm on hardwood floors, no carpetCustomer Review: An easy solution

I actually bought this product for 1/2 the price at a Walgreens.
I have an extra wide door and it fit fine and the door functions properly.
I live in a condo complex so there is a major gap under the door and there is no heat provided in the winter for the hallways so I thought this might be a good way to go. It was worth a try. I will actually get a second one for my front door.
Very easy to put together and use. It's not perfect but it's better than a new door!
Customer Review: works for me!

Hey for the money this is a really nice item, plus you get two of them and an over-the-door coat hanger. I really can't complain. The draft stopper does the job for me!Customer Review: Works well if modified
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
