Please help- "door sweep" for front door (lemmy.world)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Basically, there is a gap between my front door and the floor (live in an apartment).

All sorts of revolting smells come in from the hallway all the way into my entire apartment.

I tried looking on temu but all the door sweeps have horrible reviews, except the ones that work for inner doors (goes in front of and behind the door and is like some kind of foam).

Those wouldn't work cause my front door is too thick

Please help for some kind of recommendation 🫠

This work? Just look up "door draft stopper" and you should find something that does work.

They all have crap reviews, including the ones that are this style :/

Well sorry to say but, those are your options 🤷. I'd say buy one and hope for the best, if it doesn't work. Try a different one. Sometimes good enough is good enough you know lol

Also, the ones I linked are made in the USA, the ones on TEMU will definitely be cheap knockoffs. Sometimes that matters, sometimes it doesn't.
