Can I use this in a doorway without molding?

No, because the plastic part at the top actually hooks over the molding and secures in that space between the molding and the wall. My suggestion would be to get one of those pullup bars that screw into each side of the doorway. I would not recommend this product.

Don't know, but I doubt it. I wouldn't want to try that. Over a door the way the instructions show is the safest method.

Yes, as long as you put something non-metal between it and the metal door. You could fashion something yourself, but there is a specific accessory specifically for that, which would be the simplest option.

I don't know, as mine is wooden. You would need to check with the manufacturer since you have no windows near the door.

Yes you can but keep in mind that there will be a gap that will not be very aesthetically pleasing. If you don't care about this the door is relatively easy to install.

The clamp definitely stretches apart wider than 8". But if your molding is higher than 6" from the door, it probably won't fit

In my case, no. The gap between my closet door and the molding is too small. The hooks strike the molding and prevent the door from closing. If I want to shut the door, I will need to shave a little from the top of the door.

No. I have normal sized doorways and it fits through very easily. It's also very light to move.

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

That depends on how low your chin up bar is, and how it is attached. I would say if it's a doorway style then no. Mine is hanging from a center support in my garage, and even then I had to wrap it around twice to bring it up to a level that was high enough to work on. If your chin up bar is resting on the doorway molding that doesn't seem safe to me. You can put it on a shut door, but this will limit your ability to make the exercises more difficult. You can always wrap it around a tree branch.

Yes, you can. My doorway is actually a little less than 30". We have the sofa in a spare sitting room and love it!

Yes. The top and Bottom can be adjusted separately so it will work with molding. My molding is angled and the gate is square so it would be nice if the adjusters would swivel to accommodate the angle but they don't. It works fine but occasionally becomes loose and needs to be retightened It is very secure as long as you keep it tight.

The bar hangs off the molding around a door. As long as you have molding it should be fine. It does do some damage after extended use but i have heard if you place a towel or something under the point where it hits the molding it won't damage. Hope this helps.

I think so too. My door is a thin piece of plywood, maybe 1/8th inch thick. If not you could probably stuff it with something to keep it from being loose. I am pretty sure it would look okay.

Definitely! You'll need to attached the bar low enough on your doorway so you don't hit your nose on the doorframe.

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.

I have had some for over six months, usually with one open. I have never found any molding. I have kept both inside and outside the chill box, but with the same good storage results.
