Does the bracket itself protrude much? I am worried about being able to completely open my windows when the stopper is removed from the bracket.

Sticks out about 3/8", on my vinyl windows that protrusion does NOT affect opening/closing of windows at all. Have been very happy with this product!

The metal bracket that attaches to the jamb sticks out about 3/8", maybe less. I have wood double hung windows so I actually carved out a groove so the bracket sits flush with the face of the window. Now I can open both sashes all the way if I want to. It still looks very professional and clean.

the bracket and holder are separate. the holder is held in the bracket by a wing nut. ive been using it daily for around 2 months and have no issues at all with it.

Sorry for the delayed response. The bracket is made to fit a maximum of 2 inches. HOWEVER.....the part that is directly on top of the door has a small hole in it on both sides. So, you might be able to straighten out the bend that goes over the back of the door and screw the hanger to the top of the door. If you try this, I would recommend using a washer with the screws on both sides.

The bracket is essentially a round cup, fits over the round end of the bar. The bar rotates in order to tighten/loosen in the door frame. You'll need to know which way it rotates so you don't accidentally make it loosen when you do a pull up.

Yes, however I had mine break after about 4 months of use. I figured the center would evenly distribute the weight of the door, this stopper broke right where the door makes contact with it.

Yes and no. A simple yes is misleading, because if you do, as WFS mentioned, the brackets pivot, and when the holder is verutcal, the brackets move around. So while you can, it is somewhat unstable.

The sides of the brackets don't need to be exactly centered. Mine is offset by about 8 inches and it is fine - it just may affect the range of motion of the bracket once installed. I picked this bracket specifically because I had a corner with very little wall on one side and I needed an offset solution.

The bracket itself is very secure. Mine doesn't rattle against the frame at all. Nor does the lock rattle in the bracket. The lock, however, does rattle. It's just the nature of the metal on metal locking mechanism.

Yes. My windows slide sideways to open and close. The problem is that the spacers that they give you to block the rest of the opening might not be long enough to fully block out the outside air so you may need to buy some plexiglass from a hardware store to ensure a tight seal.

I actually got 4 brackets to hang mine from. The longer the window the greater support needed.

The bracket extends out to 33" from the collapsed position. You can stop the bracket at any measurement you desire up to 33". They have a mechanical drawing with all the measurements

No. It is meant to slide into grooves. Not too difficult once the window sash is removed from the frame.

It depends on the height of the window. The window kit did not help in my case. The lip was not long enough the buldge right after the short lip made it unusable even for an up and down window because of the window ledge so for a side window you will definitely have the same issue. When I try to use it it was so awkward it kept popping out. I had to build some contraption to make useable even then I still have issues.

It's not necessary to close it; it controls how "tight" the closing is, though. The hook stays closed by the end of that screw slipping into slight indentation on the top of the bracket, so if it's not staying closed very well, you can tighten the screw so it's more secure.

It expands to fit whatever width your window happens to be. It is not airtight, though. I put some foam to make it more so. Hope this helps.

I don't have mine open now, but recall that the secret was to remove more screws and wires, which I think allowed separating the desired section. I initially tried what looked like the easy way with just a few screws, but the opening was not large enough to take it out that way, because protruding parts prevented mine from sliding out. If that's not clear enough, I can open mine again to refresh my memory.

Yes, you can take the stopper off and open the window fully when at home, and then replace it and it will lock at installed height while you are at work.
