Does the door have to be solid? I live in a townhouse and the doors are just average quality.

I have not used it with a door yet. I would not use it with a flimsy door (hollow core), but I am a big guy. A good exterior door should work. Also make sure that you are pulling the door against the jam, not opening the door as you pull on it. Or use the dead bolt.

I would strongly suggest the door be a strong door!!! Also try to set it up so you have to pull the door closed behind you. I have old doors.in my house and using this approach has been the most successful for me. Hope this helps.

You can use it comfortably as long as you're in contrary to the door opening direction. I measure 6.0 feet and weighing 182 pounds

I would also use an external door just to be safe. But I highly recommend the trainer! So glad I got it! You can throw it over a tree outside.

I would say yes ... I tried using a normal door, but the door kept on opening ... I use an external door and that is fine.

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.

Amazon asked me to answer this for you. We actually didn't use this product since the front door was wobbly, and didn't give us any sense that it was a quality product. So no, I cannot say.

The door is made of 1/4" tempered glass. I don't find that it feels flimsy or wobbly at all, but as the other answerer noted, the door must be mounted correctly. I've had mine for more than a year and am very happy with its appearance and function.

Are you talking about the molding or trim around the door possibly being damaged or the actual top of the door frame snapping?

The doors do not effect the stability. There are vertical hinge slots on the main frame, similar to house doors, they are fairly small, not very visible till you are pretty close.

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.

Not really. My doorways aren't particularly thick, but it's been tearing up the molding.

You certainly can mount it directly to the door. The important factor would be to make certain you will have a secure way to fasten it.....Most inside doors are hollow and it may be difficult to use a regular wood screws for a secure mounting. If the door is hollow you might want to try to use a hollow wall anchor. There are several types available at your hardware or home improvement store.

I have a solid core (pressboard) door measuring 16 feet across. It's 30 years old. I assume that it's heavier than normal and I don't have any issues.

The door I used these on wasn't very heavy, it was 3/4" plywood, about 3' by 6', reinforced around the sides with 2"x2". They're supposed to hold a lot of weight: "And with beauty there's strength! A hinge so exceptionally constructed...so firmly anchored in a deep, full mortise...it can hold a 500-pound door" from http://homebydecor.com/index.cfm?page=manufacturers&manufacturerID;=15&gclid;=CIzDi6D6kL0CFUpnOgodMmcA1g

I put mine in a metal door ( hollow in the middle) and doesn't have any problem with it.

The door is very nice. It hangs well, and looks much pricier than it was. Good luck!

I purchased 2 of these doors. However, both were installed on doors, 1 solid wood & the other is a hollow paneled one. There's a max thickness they're good for. Go beyond that & I think you'd need to improvise. I had a contractor/friend install both of mine & they've been great for getting litter boxes into my basement.

No the area where the holes are is solid. Also I don't thing the house is holding up very well to the elements for what I paid for it.

I believe that we had to screw in the legs and attach the doors. We purchased this piece a year ago and I am very pleased. It is very solid and well made.

It will depend on your door and how tight the frame is but it has not caused any problems with mine. When closing the door I don't even notice it's there
