Do you have to remove the door from the doorway to use this?

No - you just have to keep the door open. Once you install the Blank Slate onto the door frame, you won't be able to close the door without taking it down. However, the Blank Slate is pretty easy to put up and take down, once assembled together.

Not unless you have exceptionally wide doorways or double door. It doesn't fit through any of our doors. But you could take it apart.

Yes you should be able to remove it by (of course) reversing the process. I'm moving soon and will be doing the same thing. But just remember not all doors will fit the same way.

Yes. It simply lifts off the brackets (which are above the inside of the door frame).

It presses in from the bottom and the kerf holds it in place. You shouldn't have to remove the door. It does take some effort to press it in, in the shop it is sometimes tapped with a rUber or wooden mallet worse case.

Yes, it does. But there is no knob to pull out the door. You have to hold the key and pull, to open the door.

Assuming you did not put it together... yes, you can take the entire desk apart to move it. Realize that to do so will take some time depending on how much you need to remove to make it small enough to get through the doorway. You have to make sure you loosen and remove the appropriate pieces to not cause damage to the desk. If you can move the key components of the desk through the door then you can do this with ease. The hutch can be removed and the L-shape section of the desk is only secured using a few brackets underneath.

typically it'll require morticing. you can probably get away without if there's a wide gap between the door and the jamb.

Yes, but it involves taking it apart and putting it back together again. We assembled ours in the living room, not realizing that it wouldn't get through the doorway to the room where we were going to use it.As a result, we had to remove the entire top assembly, handles included, to squeeze it through, after which we put it back together. If you didn't assemble it yourself, there should be some assembly instructions included that will let you figure out how to get the vertical section off, and put it back on after it's moved. There should definitely be something in the paperwork that addresses this issue! Yes, but it involves taking it apart and putting it back together again.

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

You can still open and close the door and leave the bar attached, if the closed door is not flush with the doorway front and back... You can close the door in the doorway you would be thinking of using, and you will see how much room you would be dealing with to attach the ends of the bar to. You only need like just under 2", I think they are anticipating that you'd be using a doorway that's not completely filled by the closed door

You have to take the gate down. It just wedges between the door or wall or whatever you place it between.

Yes the door will come off of the hinges. The safe must be open. There are two bushing that ride between the door hinges and the safe body. Don't lose them when you remove the door. Also, the door is heavy so use patience or a helper to realign the door pins. The both have to be in-line before the door will drop into place. There is no offset. DW
