B. Enne on Dec 23, 2015If you are not using the door or don't mind walking around, you can get use this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-84-in-x-112-in-Outdoor-Patio-Door-Insulator-Kit-2174W-6/100187832 I've used them in the past and they work very well.

Frandonley on Dec 24, 2015If you don't use the door fold newspaper into length wise strips 2 to 4 inches wide then slide between fram and door where you feel draft. Use case knife to insert or other thin piece of metal. Stops draft and is cheap.Helpful Reply

Camaro1952 on Dec 24, 2015I live in a ground floor apartment and have cheapo sliding glass dors. The draft was so bad it moved curtains and blinds. I cut bubble wrap into long strips about 6 inches wide and taped them around the whole door - I used duct tape- No more draft!!!Helpful Reply
