My door is in a sun room and there is no exposed door jamb. I suppose I will have to fabricate a right angle bracket?

Hi, For this type of installation, you will want a Lanai Jamb Bracket. These are also sometimes called a "Florida style jamb bracket". They are designed to be installed on a post. Hope this helps.

Yes, you need some kind of base on which to mount the bracket. And be sure to follow the directional arrows on the unit (if it's the same model I purchased). I hope it will work for what you need, but a sun room is a good location for one of these

Replace old part with new one; this hardware might work. This one is for the storm door or any glass door that swings out.

Since the hinge is totally hidden between the door and the jamb, it should be protected from the elements. If I were doing an outdoor application, I'd give the hinges a light coating of oil before installation and would put some sort of thin, waterproof gasket between the door and jamb on the hinge side. Probably overkill but better safe than sorry.

If you contact the solar group or rubbermaid via their website I am sure they will help secure a part. Thanks. I just threw an old door into reclycling that was prefectly fine and I would have sent it to you for the cost of mailing it!

I thought I would have to but I did not. Mine sat very sell in the window and I didn't feel the need to install the bracket. Your window could be different though...

You will want to pull the phantom door from right to left and install it as such. This is the same way my door is at home.

Yes. The two mount brackets are small and centered at mid-point of door jam. They won't interfere with the doors function. Great exercise tool.

They recommend brackets by SanuD or OmniMount. Two threaded holes in back and one on the bottom. Good luck!

Yep. I installed mine in a doorway that didn't have a door in it, but has the typical 1x4 or 1x6 frame all the way around it. I'll preface my answer by saying I installed a 130 year old door in a 110 year old doorframe..in the ever changing Texas landscape. We had a lot of other obstacles to overcome on our way to "level." :) I went to Lowe's and picked up some plastic spacer/washer deals for a couple bucks to use in place of the thin plastic ones they give you since I knew I'd need alot more depth. I attached the two connectors to the molding first, and then used as many spacers as needed for the other connectors on either side of doorway to make the bar level. The only unanticipated (albeit obvious now!) downside to this that the door is a much greater distance from the wall than designed. Back to my crooked door and doorway, I opted to hang the door high enough to ensure no gap on the top of the door. This means my door doesn't get close enough the ground across the entire track to use the provided "bottom door holder thing." Right now, my door kinda bangs around when you slide it because of this, but if your house is normal and you can attach the thing to the ground, the extra distance from the wall shouldn't be an issue. I, like you, was unwilling to remove the molding but I will say that it doesn't look as sleek as my inspiration doors because of it though..just my opinion.

you would have to have some 90 degree angle brackets....or add a back to it....its possible.

Hello! - I was going to install it on the door frame as well but, installed it to the right of the door frame. On the siding. This is a better place for it. Also rather put screws in and not the two sided tape.

I was able to install without morticing on both of my doors, you should be able to as well unless your door/jamb is tighter than usual, if you have an 1/8" or more you'll be good.

I don't truly know, except maybe if you purchased the mounting brackets. They are much wider than the flap and my cover the opening. But you have a window. You could not screw the brackets, but may be able to attach with some type of sealer. You may have to jury rig the opening to match the size of the bracket opening.

You can certainly remove the hanging brackets that go over the door and attach using the pre-drilled holes. It should hang just fine using that means.

I mounted mine with the enclosed screws. I put it away from the door in a partially hidden location. I do not remember if any other mounting was suggested.

There are no holes on the back for mounting - you could use two sided tape.

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

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