A door insulator includes a door covering and insulator device for selectively positioning over exterior positioned lower level doors. The lower level doors includes a pair of doors that are positioned on a frame which is angled upwardly from a front wall to a back wall such that the doors lie at an acute angle with respect to a ground surface. The device comprises a first panel and a second panel that each has a size and shape substantially equal to a size and shape of the doors. An inner edge and an outer edge are defined with respect to the first and second panels when the first and second panels are selectively positioned on the doors. Each of the panels comprises an insulating material. A securing member is adapted for selectively attaching the first and second panels together along their respective inner edges.
