This 'batticdoor' kit thing looks way overpriced for what you are getting. They want to sell you something that puts insulation on top but foil on the outside that isn't covered in insulation in a setup that looks easy to make a mistake with how it lines up on the weatherstripping?

For $99.50 + $24.50 S&H
For $124 you could buy a measuring tape, a saw capable of cutting foam, a caulking tube of foam adhesive, some foam weatherstripping, and some 4x8 foot sheets of foamboard and make something much better at insulating and air sealing for not a ton of effort.
