Can the closer be disabled without uninstalling it? It appears from the picture that maybe the closing rod could be removed and re-inserted?

Yes it can. Just close the door, then unscrew the closing rod, and put it (for storage) in a different hole that does not apply pressure to the door. You may need to poke something (small screwdriver?) in another hole to relieve the spring pressure while you unscrew the closing rod.

Yes since it is in fact spring loaded all you would have to do is to unload the spring. When you first receive it there is no pressure on it.

As best that I remember, the closing rod can be removed from the hole in the spring assembly. did in fact uninstall the unit by pulling the rod out and separating the door from the spring. The problem was that the spring required so much rotational torque to fully close the door that I needed to use the next to last hole on the cylinder and the cylinder kept on snapping back to a position where the last hole couldn't be reached. I finally managed it by jamming the cylinder by placing the screwdriver in a adjacent hole. This allowed me to hold the cylinder still so that I could reposition the rod .

The rod can be unscrewed from the base - so you could leave the base in place as long as you have some way to tighten the rod when you want to put it back on. Theoretically you could also remove the top part of the antenna using the supplied hex key to separate it into two parts, but you would need to be very careful to mark (maybe with electrical tape) exactly how far to insert the top part when re-installing so that you don't detune the antenna. I would not recommend it though as the hex screw used to attach the two parts feels a bit soft and may be damaged by repeated removal and reassembly.

I purchased this rod and am extremely happy with it but have not tried to get the ends off. I would assume you could though.

I just checked the manual, and I don't think you can disable it completely. You can set it either 1, 2, or 3 hours, but I don't think you can get rid of it altogether. Hope that helps!

When you slide it out , when at end lift up on side with black adjustment rod , it will come off. The locking grove is tapered so it will come off easily.

it should have closed easily. if i remember correctly all you have to do is push the trigger to make it close. Hope that helps.. if not.. I would send it back and have them replace it..

Never had to remove mine. It can be done because I installed mine backwards in the beginning. Two little clips that you pull out or press in along the tracks.

Once extended and "locked" in place, it is not locked. It is "wedged" into place. So if you wedged it hard it may be difficult to unwedge. If this is the case, just get a buddy to help. It does not "lock". You do not need a key or a code. Ask my son who had the same problem. I just had to help him out. Reverse the installation instructions!John R.

I don't know if it's can be removed but I would check with the person you are having install it. It is wonderful, I love mine and it's well worth the price.

Well, I don't know anything about that, except if you leave it in the locked position and force it to close, there will be a louc click, and MAYBE it's breaking. Google for TOJI(closed) in Japanese if your model is not written in English.

My first instinct was to say, no, not without compromising the structure. But I just went and looked at mine and I think it could be done. The bracket that is mounted in the wall is two separate pieces, and while I'm not going to try to yank one of the rods out (my husband doesn't need any more reasons to question my sanity) they don't appear to be riveted, the ends are in plastic cup-like holders that look like they're part of the frame. If you had a good cutting tool and were handy it might be possible. I think I'd just buy some cheap expandable curtain rods, though, and see if that would work before I spent the money and chanced wrecking the rack. It really is a nice rack, though, for the money.

I mounted it without the down rod. The downrod is 4 inches, my clearance is about 8. I wouldn't chance it, to close.

No you do not. If you use hooks, you can remove the hooks. If you use one with rings buit in, you should still be able to remove without dismantling. Worst case, sinse the rod is held in by the "spring" of the arc, carefully tension the rod, and remove from the wallmounted receiver.

yes - the "ball" on the rod's end is removable - did reverse for one installation - very easy process and included in the instructions - very happy with the product

hey matt i read about the problem closing bolt they said dont close bolt because it will stick and the ejector will rip thru the soft rim on the cartredge and the laser will really be stuck in chamber ,,,,,,,,it works fine if you dont close bolt all the way ,,,,,it still would be nice if it had a on off switch!!!!

I think so. There is a small screw at each end that holds the rod, but I didn't unscrew it.
