Description
Description
This Australian-made front and back door sealing kit provides everything needed to permanently seal two external doors against intrusive air leaks.
Using high-quality sustainably sourced materials, the front and back door kit creates all-weather door seals that blocks drafts from top to bottom without sacrificing aesthetics.
With basic tools, you can easily install this foolproof kit on any two doors for lifetime protection against air leaks. We provide step-by-step videos to guide you to success!
Instantly change the comfort of your home: Many doors are notoriously draughty, sucking out your warm, expensively heated air and injecting blasts of cold winter air into your home. In summer, leaky doors let in the harsh hot winds into your home. This kit will fix that easily - in one afternoon.
Lower your energy bills from the moment this kit is installed: Heating and cooling costs form between 40% and 60% of the average home's energy bill. Without this kit, your doors can be major culprits in sneakily leaking your conditioned air out.
No more draughts from the sides, top and bottom of your external doors: To prevent draughts from entering through a door, it is important to effectively seal all sides - a door has 4 sides and all of them need a quality, long-lasting seal - the top, left, right sides, as well as the bottom, will be fitted with a perfect draft-proof barrier.
Great for uneven gaps: Most cheap, stick-on, door seals fail because they are not designed to seal where there are variable gaps around your door. This kit will seal up to 10mm variable gap around your door and 16mm gap under your door.
Reduce noise: Our clients report a significant reduction in outside noise entering their homes following installation.
Reduce dust, pollen, smoke, bugs and insects: These quality seals protect your home from the outside elements on an ongoing basis. No need to worry about neighbours smoking or BBQs, hazard reduction burns, spring time pollen or pesky bugs getting into your home.
Set and Forget: You have better things to do than replace sticky seals (that don't actually work) on your front and back doors every year. Invest in quality, do it once and enjoy it forever.
Does not interfere with the operation of the door: Your door will open and close as normal.
Draught Dodgers: A key component to this kit is Draught Dodgers - the best thing to happen to your door since the door handle!

FAQ
FAQ
Q: I’m not really sure how or where to start?
A: That is no problem at all. We have a series of ecoMasterClasses on just about every topic of energy efficiency. All the information is totally free. Click here to check it out.
Q: What is this kit?
A: This kit contains high quality draught proofing components to treat 2 standard external doors. There are two different components:
- Timber / Bronze draught excluder
- White Aluminium / Silver draught excluder
- Black Aluminium / Black draught excluder
Q: Will I still be able to open and close my doors?
A: These products should not prevent your door from its natural function, if you have difficulty in closing your door after installation, then can we humbly suggest that you watch the installation videos in the “How to” tab.
Q: My front door is a double door. Is this still the right kit?
A: No, it is not. This kit is suitable for two single hinged doors only. The double doors are best treated with one of our French Door Kits.
Q: My front door is quite wide. Will this kit still work?
A: The width limitation of this kit is the width of the RP3 bottom draught excluder which is 920mm between the jams. If your door is wider than that, then you can still treat it with these components but you will need to buy them individually so that you can option the extra-long 1220mm RP3.
Q: Is it not better to fit the Draught Dodgers to the ground first and then fit the RP3 in between?
A: Technically yes, but the problem with this method is that it means that the RP3 actuator must be fitted on the angled face of the Draught Dodgers and that does not work well.
Shipping
Shipping
Q: Can I collect my order?
A: Yes you can! A “Ready for Pickup” email will be sent to you when you order is ready to be collected. Please click this link for the Click and Collect details. Note: this Collection Centre is in Preston Victoria, NOT Prestons in NSW.
Q: When will my order be despatched?
A: Generally, your order will be despatched within 2 to 3 business days.
Q: Will my order be tracked?
A: Yes! When your order is consigned, you will receive a tracking number that will show you where your order is and its expected delivery date. Track your order here
Please note: Orders with two or more items may arrive in separate parcels with no additional shipping charge
Q: When will my order be delivered?
A: All over-sized orders are picked, packed and despatched within 3 business days. Your order will be delivered by a specialist courier that specifically handles oversized items that cannot be delivered via Australia Post.
Please note that this is a specialist courier NOT an express courier. Our experience with specialist couriers varies depending upon the delivery location. Clearly delivery times will fluctuate at peak shipping times such as Christmas, end of financial year and the pinnacle of winter bleakness!
Q: Authority to leave?
A: The standard courier delivery option is "Authorised to Leave". That means that if there is no one home when the courier arrives, your order will be left at your address. If this is not appropriate, please advise when you place your order for alternative arrangements to be made.
Q: What happens if my order is damaged in transit?
A: Our freighters have very strict policies on the ability to claim on insurance if your order arrives damaged. There is a 48 hour window of receipt of goods for ecoMaster being able to advise the freighters of a damage claim. PLEASE ensure you have advised us IMMEDIATELY if an order has been damaged on arrival. Open your order immediately and check. Outside of the 48 hour window, we are unable to make an insurance claim.
Q: What happens if my order gets lost during transit?
A: Occasionally we have had orders go missing. ecoMaster has solid procedures in place and photograph every order that leaves our warehouse. If a delivery date appears to be beyond expectation, we will raise a query on your behalf. If your order cannot be found during transit, we will send a replacement.
Q: What happens if my order is stolen after delivery?
A: If your order is stolen from your home after delivery, please raise a Police report.
Q: How do I make my freight costs cheaper?
A: We hear you! Oversized items are expensive to transport. Any item over 1.5m long carries an additional $10 charge by the courier.
Potential cost effective freight alternatives are:
- Share the costs of freight with a neighbour
- Buy all your long items (such as Draught Dodgers) in one order (a second tube going to the same address is free)
- Collect your order from Preston Victoria
If you live regionally or in a rural location, freight costs will be high. Do you have an address in a town where your order can be safely delivered? We also live regionally and understand the frustration with the high costs of freight!!
Warranty
Warranty
Q: What is the product warranty for the Draught Dodger range?
A: The Draught Dodger range has a product warranty of 10 years, but can be effective for much longer than that. Our own home has had Draught Dodgers on our front door for nearly 20 years. It is in perfect condition and still doing its job - beautifully.
Q: What is the installation warranty for Draught Dodgers?
A: As Draught Dodgers are a DIY product there is no warranty on installation.
However, in order to get the best value from your investment, here are a few tips that will help:
- Please, PLEASE watch the installation videos before you proceed. The packer has been designed and included to ensure that the Draught Dodgers are fitted in EXACTLY the right place.
- Thoroughly clean the surface that your Draught Dodgers are to be adhered to. In situations where Draught Dodgers have 'failed', this is 95% of the reason.
- The other reason is the type of paint on the door jamb. Very oily paints make longer term adhesion quite challenging. In this case, fix Draught Dodgers to your door with brads instead of the self adhesive strip.
Q: What do I do if I have a problem with this product?
A: Refer to our Returns / Refunds page [Learn More]. Our Research and Development team will be keenly interested to learn of any product failure and will want images and samples the product (if possible), so they can determine what the cause of failure was.
If you have any questions, contact the ecoMaster team. We are all ex-installers and have done this work thousands of times before. We are here to help you.
Q: What happens if my order is damaged in transit?
A: Our freighters have very strict policies on the ability to claim on insurance if your order arrives damaged. There is a 48 hour window of receipt of goods for ecoMaster being able to advise the freighters of a damage claim. PLEASE ensure you have advised us IMMEDIATELY if an order has been damaged on arrival. Open your order immediately and check. Outside of the 48 hour window, we are unable to make an insurance claim.
I am very impressed with these kits. The door seals work very well on my wonky door (the stick in rubber seals were useless) and the bottom seals work great too on quite a large gap. I highly recommend these products.
Hi Kate
Thank you for recommending our products, we appreciate your feedback and hope to be able to serve you again in the future!
I made a couple of mistakes. I ordered aluminium when my frames are wood. However it still looks good. I cut one a little too small. But afterwards the installation was actually very easy and they are a snug good fit.
Hey Queenie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear that our Front and Back Door Draught Proofing Kit was easy to install for you, despite being a novice. We understand that mistakes can happen, but we're glad to hear that the aluminium still looks good on your wood frames. We're also pleased to hear that the installation process was easy and that the final result is a snug and good fit. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it helps keep your doors draught-free. Have a great day!
This is an excellent product and includes easy DIY instructions and also there is a DIY video available from ecoMaster's website or YouTube channel. I highly recommended for anyone looking to draught-proof doorways.
Thank you so much for your review David! It's fantastic to hear that you found our Front and Back Door Draught Proofing Kit to be an excellent product with easy instructions and helpful DIY videos. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope that our product has helped to keep your doorways draught-free. Thank you for choosing ecoMaster!
My order took about 2 weeks to be delivered and the delivery cost was about 30% higher than I thought it should be. 2 years ago I regularly purchased items from Melbourne and the transit time was generally only 3 days to Newcastle with TNT transport.
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your feedback on the freighting of your draught dodgers. We totally agree that the cost of freight is now very high.
Before Covid we were charged $10 to move a 2.5m tube between cities. Now the freight charge by the lowest cost courier is closer to $40. The next comparable courier charges is 150% to 200% more. We made the decision to sacrifice a fast delivery with more affordable freight cost.
We hope you enjoy the improved comfort and cost savings from draught proofing your home with quality products that will last the lifetime of your home.
Cheers

The draught proofing kit is a game changer! It has made a huge difference to the temperature in the hall way and the sun room feels like there is a heater on instead of being the coldest room in the house. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your superb 5 star review Simone. We really appreciate your business and helping to spread the word about our Draughtproofing Kit!
