I would recommend this item to a friend.
Worthy Investment
Our old chimney had a built-in damper that had been broken for years. As a result, cold air was allowed to enter the house via the chimney, and our entire home was always freezing in the winter. Once I realized it was broken, I did some research and realized I could install a top-side damper.
The install was pretty straightforward. Since the Lock-Top Damper was installed, I've noticed the house has been significantly warmer, ever without using the fireplace or the furnace. I would highly recommend this product.
Simple installation (with the proper tools)
Prevents birds/pests, rain, cold air from entering the house via chimney when damper is closed
Easy to open/close damper
It's a bit expensive (but it's worth it)
When it's open, birds/pests can enter via chimney (there is no screen like the more expensive dampers)
