Tools and Hardware Reviews of Twin Draft Guard BrownCustomer Review: Twin Draft Guards really work! Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend these draft guards for any one with drafty doors. They are an inexpensive but effective way for cutting down on drafts from sneaking in under doors. They're simple to use too, you just slip one underneath your door and you're done. The only inconveniences are minor ones. Number one, when you open that door they will slip out of place, but it's easy enough to re-position them. Secondly, not all doors are the same size, so you may have to trim them to fit your door, but that is not hard either, as it's just a foam interior. It's too early to tell yet if they've actually saved me money on my energy bill, but it's a step in the right direction.
Customer Review: Solution to loose fit Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of the draft guards and was very disappointed when the space between my doors and the floor caused the guard to not fit and get stuck under the door when opening/closing. I finally got them to work by putting double sided tape on both sides of the tubes, sliding it under the door and pressing in to place to hold it on the door. Maybe not a great solution, but now I don't feel like I completely wasted my money. Tape looks like it will eventually have to be replaced, but for now....they work. I suppose if you have a metal door, you could insert magnets into the sleeve, maybe attached to the tubes.
Customer Review: Waste of money! Summary: 1 Stars
Getting the Twin Draft Guard into position to actually block the leak is a serious pain. Once the guard is in place, you won't want to use the door again because it slides completely out of position every time you open it. It comes out of the package all bent, and it takes a while just to get it straightened out enough to use. It may block the draft once in place, but the door must be open to reposition the dumb thing, and it takes at least two or three minutes each time. You probably loose more heat in this process than you block once the guard is actually in place. Worthless product - don't waste your hard-earned cash!
Customer Review: Fits Standard Doors Perfectly Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a way to keep your house warmer in the winter or cooler in the summer, this is a good solution that will quickly remedy the problem of drafts under the front door. It may also help in windy rainstorms where water is likely to find its way under the door. Within a day after putting this under the front door, I noticed the house staying much warmer and now my home is cozy warm. If you have a standard size front door, this should fit with no adaptations. If you have any problems with this fitting, all you do it resize the foam inside and instructions are included.

Customer Review: Never stayed in place, and eventually we gave up. Summary: 2 Stars
I was excited to buy the Twin Draft Guard as our back door didn't seal well on the bottom and the back mud room was always drafty. Despite advertiser assurances that it would stay in place under the door, we had a terrible time keeping it in place as we shut the door. The styrofoam tube on the outside of the door was quickly smashed up from being closed into the door frame. After a few weeks of effort (it did make some difference to the draftiness, but it stayed cold), we gave up and tossed the (mainly flattened) Twin Draft Guard into a corner where it was left untouched for the rest of the winter.
