Do you need someone to help close it in the back? I live alone and will not have anyone to do that.

No I put it on with the back already on and do the adjusting with the front straps

We purchased the shoulder brace for my 80 year old mother and she has no issues putting the brace on by herself.

once you get it adjusted to your size you can close it in the front yourself

It has velroc in front and back so attach back before you put in on then attached the front.

I cut it off. I think it's purpose is to quickly close the thing without using the zipper but I could never make heads or tails of it.

From the description here, I'm pretty sure it needs to screwed into the door frame. I didn't install it, so I can't answer that from experience. I have, however, been sleeping in the guest room, the doorway to which is where this is installed - and yes, I could close the door. I could also easily move the swing to one side when it wasn't in use.

I "Gorilla'd" the couch through my front door. If the back does come off, I never had to do it nor even tried to. Good luck, with that. So the short answer is.....I don't know.

Yes but you have to take it apart and unscrew the back. I do not recomend this.

Yes, you do, but the frame might already have one. On my unit, the strip in the door slide down and got cut when the door was closed. The one in the frame is okay.

no it doesn'tonce you put it together there's no going backit stays up and open.it isn't heavy though so you can drag it around and place it wherever you please.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

Well, you need to put significant force to open it. I have that problem too. Now I just don't close it tight so it can be easily opened.

Honestly, I wouldnt. I actually leave it open to create more surface area. If you don't care for it, maybe put that part towards a wall & keep it closed, being you don't have to open it.

Honestly I need both hands to fold it up. I have to squeeze the sides to get it to lock in place. I've seen video of other people closing it without the squeeze but neither my husband or I have been able to do it.

could be. remove it and see if the door will close. if it does you may not have assemble it correctly.

I can put it up by myself and I am a 61 year young woman. You just have to do slower than when you have help.

It is not self closing/latchhing. What I have done is to attach a bunge cord to it to make it self closing.

it has to be turned to open, and turned to reclose. Mine didn't stay closed very good. But it might of been me.

you have to assemble it yourself, its best if you have someone to help unless you are very good at assembling awkward things (i did it alone).

I agree with the first answer you received including the analogy. You can lessen the tension to the point that it will barely close at all. I can see not reason to have a closure on both sides of the door with the information you provided for having this need.
