I've seen them in stores and on infomercials, they are usually 2 pieces per package. stockpod.com seems to be only 1 piece. So do research before you buy to see if it is a good deal.

Oh, the good ole days of Billy May's infomercials.

Bought one from Home Depot for $7. Went to Lowes later to get another and a rep suggested a foam pipe insulator for $1.36. One piece is enough for 2 doors and it works great, the open slit wraps around the bottom of the door. Better actually because it doesn't slip like the Door Draft Guard which I'm constantly having to slide back in order to shut the door.

Yes mine does that all the time too, I have some of that pipe insulation and will try it tomorrow as it is like 0 degrees out, thanks for the idea. Not sure that the twin draft things are even worth $5, actually.

Do you have a link or a SKU # for the foam pipe insulator?

The radio is full of ads for stuff that's "FREE". Just pay for shipping and handling, and oh, we need your credit card to process the order. No thanks.

There are some basic things about home HVAC equipment you need to remember. The heated/cooled air, leaving your furnace via floor (ceiling, whatever) registers is not going to disappear – it has to go back to the return grille in the same amount. There only 2 valid cases to use these draft guards: to block draft under your entry doors and/or to block draft under the doors to the rooms that have air dampers installed in their air supply lines, so there is no air from HVAC coming into them (regular registers in a closed position are not a suitable alternative to an air dumper). Otherwise, you are creating a negative pressure in your house, with some rooms “over pressurized”. That’s why the most ideal scenario when every room with air registers has to have a return grille located across from it. Usually, it never the case, there is a central air return with a dirty air filter, additionally blocking the air flow, so all the inside door are REQUIRED to have an opening under them (gap), and it is actually regulated. With no gap, the system is going to suck the missing air from outside the building envelope, or, if it is an extremely sealed tight construction, you will be creating a situation in your air handler when it is “air starved”. Booth of the situations are bad for your HVAC system and for your wallet.

THAT...was pretty interesting. was going to get one of these door guards for just one room which is almost never heated.
