HYBRIDEAS Door Draft Stopper Width Adjustable and Length Adjustable 39" for Bottom of Door Under Door Draft Blocker Door Seal Weather Stripping Door Sweep Noise Blocker Wind Blocker Door Draft Guard

Got this after shopping around a bit and finally biting the bullet. It does most of what similar draft stoppers do in keeping smells out of our apartment, decreasing noise, and minimizing the light that comes through under the door. There are still a couple of streaks of light that seep through under the stopper, but nothing super noticeable or worth throwing it away for. It does just what we need (we got it primarily to keep hallway smells out) and seems like it'll hold up for a while.

At first I was a bit annoyed at how this product is presented in the kit. Instead of having two 39" foam rubber tubes they consist in three 13"-inch foam rubbers per side. However, this configuration might make the trimming process easier. But before I get into that, the thing that remained annoying to me about the configuration of project parts, was the Hook (as in hook and loop, as in Velcro) strip. This came folded. It wasn't creased or anything totally damaging like that, and I understand that companies, especially companies in China, are trying to minimize shipping sizes. However, because of the plastic body of the Hook, as you can see in Photos 1 & 2, the bent shape remains. Therefore attempting to measure this strip to cut it to the proper length for the job, was not easy to say the least. But I did get it done ... finally.Now, the door for which I purchased this my bedroom closet door is 24", and in order to make it fit properly I needed to have a finished length of 23.3/4". So I didn't need one of the foam rubber lengths (per side) at all. Set aside and later on put them in my possibly-useful box(es) on the basement. Hey, you never know, right?So all I needed to do was to remove on more (each side) of the foam rubber tubes and cut them both to 10.3/4" long, slide 'em back into their respective sleeves; and then cut back the remaining cloth and tuck into the hollow of the tubes, and they're the perfect length.Well, actually I discovered that for the inside tube (see photo #4) needs to be cut back juuuuuust a little bit, maybe a half inch, because of the inside of the doorframe.But this doesn't prevent it from doing it's job which it does very well. No cold air coming out from the bottom anymore. And that means perhaps a savings on heating, and we have lots of heating needed living in New England.So I only drop the rating by one star because of the combined 2 issues: the "folded" Hook strip, and the difficulty in placing the cloth-covered tube onto the Hook strip. I suppose there's no getting around that, and that it's just, as the saying goes, the nature of the beast.But it really does work wel :)

I installed this on a closet door that has a strong draft -- the access to the attic is through a "door" in the closet and cold wind comes through in the winter (oh, the joys of living in an old creaky house). It does a great job of blocking the draft. Assembling the thing took a bit of doing. The fabric sleeves arrive with 3 foam tubes in each, and each tube is 12 or 13" long. It says to fit it to the door, which is just under 24", so I had to remove one tube from each sleeve and then cut about 1 1/4" off the second tube, which left an awful lot of fabric to tuck into the tube (I ended up trimming that down). However, they should've warned you about accounting for the door jamb, because fitting it to the door didn't work, it was too long. Had to remeasure and then cut off another 1/2" from the tube and replace into the sleeve, etc. Then I cut the "sticky tape" (I think that's what they called it) to fit the length of the tubes in the sleeves. Warning: keep the sticky tape away from everything, keep it folded up until nearing the end of the process, this thing is super super sticky! It's like major velcro strength. For the final assembly, I laid one sleeve barely onto the sticky tape edge, put it under the door and tested it, then put the second sleeve on the other side, then pressed down on each sleeve when I was sure they were in the right place. As I said, the sticky tape is super strong and while you can remove the sleeve from the "tape", it takes a lot of pulling. If you need to block a draft, this works really well!

As you can see from the photos, I have a pretty significant Gap underneath one of my front doors. The previous renters had a large German Shepherd, and the dog ate the bottom of the front door. A new one will be installed in three or four months, but until then there's plenty of AC to waste in the hot Florida Sun. For a mere 16 bucks, and about 20 minutes time, I can save myself $100 to $200 in electric bills. It's basically three pieces of foam wrapped in a fabric sock. You measure your door, subtract a half inch, cut to length, fold the extra fabric in, stick it on the velcro, and slide it on the end of your door.Because I used it for an exterior door, there was a large metal weather stripping that creates a little bit of a hang up when I close the door. Other than that it works perfectly. I did take away a star because it kind of "sags," and slides on the floor, as opposed to being "stuck" to the door. If there was something like velcro tape pulling it upwards to stick on the door, it might not get caught on the jam. It's the reason why I said it's five stars for interior doors, four stars for exterior doors. Either way it does the job, and for two pieces of velcro tape I can fix the problem. I recommend the product.

Helps keep the draft out but not as much as I expected

The perfect draft stopper that works well for unwanted pest or bugs. Helps seal your room nicely.

This works OK. It is made pretty much of styrofoam tubes and a flimsy cloth to connect the two. It was easy to put it together, but not a really quality item.

It is poorly made
