How To

The kit comprises:

  • Draught Dodgers - top quality perimeter seals for the sides and top of your external door.
  • 1 x Raven RP3 draught excluders - for the bottom of your door. 

Overview:

  • The RP3 and the Draught Dodgers will need to be cut to length. These are simple square cuts only.
  • The RP3 is screw fixed. Drilling pilot holes is recommended. This will make it easier to screw in place and also prevent splitting the bottom edge of the door.
  • The Draught Dodgers are self-adhesive. Clean the jamb thoroughly first.

What you will need:

  • Either a hack saw and mitre box OR a drop saw.
  • Measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • A Philips head screwdriver
  • Drill with a 2.5mm drill bit
  • Cleaning cloth
  • Pair of scissors

Video Guide:

Hacks:

  • It is essential to install the RP3 Draught Excluder before installing the Draught Dodgers.
  • Pay particular attention to the measuring instructions provided in the Videos. Make sure all the surfaces are thoroughly clean to ensure a perfect installation.
Delivery

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.

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!!

Why is draught proofing my doors and windows so important?

Even small gaps around your doors and windows can let in cold draughts, hot air, noise, and dust—making your home less comfortable and more expensive to heat or cool. Sealing those gaps is one of the easiest ways to improve comfort and lower your energy bills.

Can’t I just go to a hardware store and buy a seal?

You can—but choosing from thousands of confusing options can be a frustrating guessing game. Get it wrong, and the door won’t close, or the seal won’t work. We’ve done the hard work for you with a curated range of high-quality, expert-tested products—so you get it right the first time.

Will sealing just a few doors or windows really make a difference?

Yes! Even fixing just one leaky door or window can noticeably improve the comfort of your home. You don’t have to do everything at once—just start with the worst offenders and build from there.

How do I know which product is right for my home?

That’s where we’ve made things simple. You can use our Find and Fix My Draughts tool to quickly identify the right products for your doors, windows, and gaps. Or explore our handy kits and guides tailored to different home types and draught problems—no guesswork needed!

Are these products DIY-friendly?

Absolutely. Most of our draught proofing solutions are designed for easy DIY installation, and we back them up with clear instructions and how-to videos. If you'd rather not DIY, contact us and we’re happy to refer you to a trusted draught proofing technician in your area.

Works well

Despite some juggling required when one of the side pieces stuck at the top while I was juggling it into position the installation was relatively straightforward. The end result is great - the howling gales streaming in around the door are no more.

Hi Lawrie,

Thank you for taking the time to review of our External Door Draught Proofing Kit. It's wonderful to hear that you found the installation process relatively straightforward and that it has effectively reduced the howling gales around your door. Excellent! It is unfortunate that you experienced some issues whilst juggling the side piece into position, however we are pleased that the end result was worth it.

External Door Draught Proofing Kit

Thanks to the instructional YouTube video this was extremely straightforward to install. Not only did it stop the air roaring through all four gaps of my back door, but the sound from outside decreased considerably too. Worth every penny.

Hey Chris,

We're thrilled to hear that the instructional YouTube video made installation easy and that it effectively stopped air and noise from coming through your back door. We appreciate your feedback and are glad that our product was worth every penny! Thank you for choosing ecoMaster.
