covering open doorway

Whats the cheapest way to cover an open doorway to stop heat escaping?

I suppose thick curtains is the obvious one but is there any other ways?

If you are renting, get the landlord to fit a 1hr fire door, its their responsibility to make sure the house is up to code...

You can always stick up a rail & curtain

Agree with this............Landlords responsibility.

If he/she wont do it,then hold back this months rent,until the problem is solved.

You are a tennant,but you have your rights too.;)

Landlords responsibility to fix this.

The landlord will probably say I knew it was like that when I moved in.
The door and frame, hinge ect was removed not broken. It's only now in the cold weather it's a problem

Is there any regulations say there should be a door?
