FAQs
How do I know if this door wedge will work for my door?
The wedge is most effective when there is a small gap (typically 0.5 cm to 2 cm) between the bottom of the door and the floor. It works best on common floor surfaces like wood, tile, and carpet. Test the gap and floor type to determine suitability.
Can I use this door wedge outdoors?
This door wedge is primarily designed for indoor use. While it may offer some temporary use outdoors on suitable surfaces, prolonged exposure to weather elements can degrade the rubber material.
How durable is the rubber material?
The rubber is designed for durability and regular use. However, like all rubber products, its lifespan can be affected by extreme temperatures, prolonged UV exposure, and constant friction.
What is the return policy if it doesn't work for me?
You can return your goods within 30 days of receipt for a refund. Please refer to B&Q's return policy for full details.
Does this product come in different sizes?
Based on the provided information, this product is a single model (UTWI669). It is designed with a universal shape to fit most standard door gaps.
Will this scratch my floor?
The rubber material is generally non-marking and designed to minimize the risk of scratching floors. However, always ensure the floor and wedge are clean to prevent grit from causing damage.
Troubleshooting
Door still closes slowly
Ensure the wedge is pushed as far as possible under the door and is firmly seated on the floor. Try repositioning the wedge to a different angle or using the wider end against the floor for better grip.
Wedge slips on smooth floor
Clean both the floor and the wedge to remove any dust or debris that might be causing slippage. For very smooth surfaces, consider using two wedges or a different type of doorstop if available.
Wedge does not fit under the door
Check the gap between the door and the floor. This wedge is designed for typical gaps. If the gap is unusually small, this particular wedge may not be suitable. Ensure you are using the narrowest part of the wedge under the door.
