Does this have to be mounted in a door frame? Could this be mounted in a hallway with the recommended width requirements met.

It needs the doorframe to secure into, perhaps if you had studs on either side it might hold

I imagine the door frame provides extra strength, given the screws that drive into the doorframe versus plaster.....I hope this helps.

Yes it has to be assembled. It isn't difficult to put it together. No it will not fit a door frame that narrow: "Adjustable Design securely fits door frames 27-35" wide"

I am sure it could if you drilled a hole first. I installed mine on the wood that frames the inside of the door. You must be able to put in at least one screw into the back piece that mounts flat to the wall.

The cabinet can be wall mounted or recess mounted. Mine is wall mounted, which I think is a good way to go given the mirrored sides of the cabinet. However, if I measure the depth of the cabinet from the back to the edge where the door rests it would be 3--inhes.

I'm definitely not an expert in the field of construction or architecture, however I installed mine in a solid wood door with little to no difficulty. I don't see why not? As long as you have the correct tools to make the appropriate cuts and measurements.

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.

Don't think it matters it's adjustable. Should be placed in a door way with framing around it. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can mount it anywhere within the door frame. If you're putting it in a door everyone uses you may want to check that everyone fits under it before you install.

It needs to be mounted with screw - I think they are about 1 inch line or maybe less. So if your door is thick and solid I would think yes

The first answer gives you the minimum width. There's really not any maximum width (that is in the realm of normal cabinet doors). It's designed to fit in any opening that's at least as wide as the product. I installed mine on the door that it's about 24 inches.

I've been able to move it without taking it apart. At my old house it went through doorways fine. Where I'm living now the hallway is too narrow so I can't quite make the turn. I don't move it often, but I can move it by tipping it on its side. Not super convienient, but not bad. And like I said, the problem is our hall, not the door frame itself.

We mounted ours on a piece of plywood and put it in the window (kind of like a room air conditioner). It's not as thick as a door. We believe there is an attachment you can buy to make it work for a door or wall.

Plastic frame adapts to fit standard doors of 1-1/4 in. to 1-3/4 in. thicknessI have mine installed into a screened in patio (installed in 2 inch frame). I'm thinking this one is for doors rather than walls. If you picked up some longer screws, I'm sure it could be installed in a wall though.

It would have more to do with the construction of the door than the walldog screws. A veneer skinned door like most interior passageway/bedroom rooms made in the last few decades just will not have enough material to hold anything of any real weight. Steel skinned exterior doors would have a better chance.I would say at best it would be 'iffy' but possible with the correct conditions the variables being the door and not the hardware. I have no reservations about the hardware doing the job, just where you are looking to mount it.

To mount you have to use junction box anyway. If you mount in the upper corner of the hallway you will cover about 80% of the area, considering if your hallway is not longer then 30 feet.

The width is the same as the entire door frame but the height would be fine. I didn't mount mine the way the wanted you too. I framed out an opening the same as the outer frame which is 14 x 22 and so mine sits into the wall instead of being flush to the drywall.

I'm not familiar with that cabinet. Mounted mine in a safe on the inside of the door. It's only about a foot long and maybe 2 inches wide and 2 in. high. Mounting is easy, either with 2 screws or Velcro, both provided.
