WEDjIE Classic

Comments about BFI Products WEDjIE Classic:

I would not recommend this product. Though easy to install, when our children tried to close the door, the Wedjie put too much pressure on the hinge area, breaking the wood at the hinge area of the door frame. We now will have to have a carpenter repair the door. It is a good concept, but it does not work if you have a wooden door frame. We immediately returned all of the Wedjies we had purchased and would not recommend them.

My boys have double doors going into their room which we keep open using a Wedjie in each door. Every day, at naptime, I take them off the doors so I can shut the noise out while they are sleeping. When they get up, the Wedjies go back on. The Wedjies slide on and off very easily. They are very sturdy and do a great job of keeping the doors from closing so no one loses any fingers. We have tried other, foam-type door wedges but they had too much give and the door closed too much so fingers were still getting hurt. One reviewer who didn't like this product seems to have hinges that are too large, but the details tell you just how large your hinges can be. Another person said the hinges got torn off but that's because you can't close the door while the Wedjie is on. I feel this product is great and deserves twice as many stars as it has, however there are some undeserved bad reviews that are bringing the star rating down. As one reviewer noted, if you are looking for something to keep the door from moving at all, this isn't the right product for that. The door will move some, but not nearly enough to smash little fingers. As a matter of fact, it doesn't close nearly enough to smash MY fingers. Also, I feel they are a great value for your money. They are extremely durable and will definately work just as well for another family when mine doesn't need them anymore. Plus,they are super lightweight which makes them easy to carry to the grandparents' houses (one less babyproofing item they have to buy for the times when we come to visit).

Look at the size of the door hinges you intend to install this on. I have a set up where my doors are heavy duty and the hinges are as well. It did not fit over the hinges. For regular door hinges it would be great.

In theory looks like a good product but it doesn't fit on the hinges in our home (built about 1950). Perhaps your description could give a size guide or something to note fits new hinges.

as long as someone tries to close the door while the wedjie is in place damage will happen to your door, frame and/or hindge. glad i got this even though it does cause damage...i wont have to worry about any missing fingers!

You stick this product in the hinges and it is very sturdy. It is so sturdy that upon pushing it to try to actually CLOSE the door; it ripped the hinges out of the door frame.

I was looking for something that would stop the door from moving at all, this works, but I use a door wedge instead.
