Do you own a Twin Draft Guard?

Twin Draft Guard

My husband bought two “Twin Draft Guard” at our local Wal-Mart Store couple of weeks ago for our downstairs bathroom.

My husband smokes, but smokes outside; however, it has been so cold where we live (10 degree F. or colder) that I felt it was not worth for him to get a pneumonia.

Yes, I know I should be advocating non-smoking, but he can’t be perfect; right?

Anyhow, back to the point … I hate my house to smell like cigarettes, so I told him that he can smoke downstairs bathroom IF he uses the fan to ventilate the smell and air-tight the door.

He is so cute!  He placed the guard under each door, bought candles and air freshener, and set his things up – he was excited that he didn’t have to freeze his butt anymore!

The guard worked for a while (a week or so) without any problem, but the more you use the door (opening and closing) the more it moves; especially when you have smaller doors like ours.

I guess I could have cut the fabric casing shorter, but then I would wind up cutting off the loop-and-hook — trust me, the last thing I want to do is sew up loop-and-hoop.

I think this product would be great for front or back doors (for energy efficiency purpose) where the door sizes are little bit larger than the interior ones, but the commercial didn’t mention it would not be ideal for interior doors – you know what I mean.

Anyway, I am not terribly disappointed about the purchase – he only spent $20 for two “Twin Draft Guard.”  However, I kind of expected more from the product; especially having watched the infomercial.

For instance, if you check out the infomercial or their website, the guard sits nicely snug onto the bottom of the door, and it looks sturdy; but it’s not – it’s very flimsy.

If you have old and large doors than by every mean buy it, but if you have “newer” house with newer doors it might not work as efficiently and effectively as you might expect.
