Review on ❄️ Enhanced Cold Weather Protection: Frost King UDB77W Thermoplastic Slide by Brian Olson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Maybe the quality has gone down?

I had two brown Frost King overlay doors that lasted a couple of years before I finally had to replace them. I couldn't find them at Home Depot anymore so I ordered online. The only option available with free Prime shipping was white, so I bought two of these. On the plus side, they're just as easy to install and trim as before. The problem lies in the overall adhesion of the insulating foam tape. It blocks outside air well, but this time - perhaps only on the white models, or in a general downgrade - the foam barely adheres to the frame, which slides over the base of the door. So when you open a door, the foam almost completely comes off. Ease of use is still a big plus. But on previous brown models I've never lost the foam insulation strip, even if I had to throw it away (because the flaps on the underside of the frame came loose), and these started to come loose after less than a couple of turns of the door, that is a problem.

Pros
  • Reduces wasted energy, keeps bugs out
Cons
  • New competition is here
