I live in an apartment and the internal doors (bedrooms, etc.) are not solid. Has anyone used this on similar doors? I see visions of my door breaking

I have mine mounted on a hollow core interior door so the pull on the anchor closes the door. Tighten all of the straps and the pull pressure is transferred to the outer edges of the door against the door stop. I haven't tried more than 100 lbs. on mine but there have been no creaks or groans from the door.

It will be fine. My bedroom has a hollow door and you have to make sure that your door is shut and that your pulling against the frame. In other words, from the outside of the door. It makes your workout so much easier and faster.

Great question. I also live in an apartment and I was worried about that very scenario since there is no deadbolt on an interior door. I purchased this ultraanchor and installed it on the door of my coat closet. It works fine. As long as you ensure that the door is pushed completely closed to where it latches, there should be no worry of it snapping open or breaking.

Don't worry Chet! My home has hollow doors also and believe it or not the UltraAnchor SPREADS the force around the entire door and exerts less stress then using a door anchor on only one area . Go for it! Well worth the investment if your into resistance bands

Stress is around edges of door so you shouldn't have any problems. That's why you need to put it on the side of the door with the jam so it doesn't stress the trim molding. Mine is on a hollow core door and I have had no problems at all.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

From my understanding this is more for glass. Supposedly if someone attempts to shatter a glass or hits strongly on the glass. I am not sure it would work on a regular door unless someone hit the door or garage door firmly.They have some just for doors by the same company.

I'm sure you have the magnets in place on the doors to hold them closed. Like any other piece of furniture with doors if they are out of alignment they won't stay closed. Is the unit level. Meaning those center supports under the center I actually took out because were to big causing a slight arc in the unit. That could be a problem. Also, if you try loosening the screws on the hinges to allow the doors to settle and screw them in lightly and evenly that might help. All I can think of.

This one works really well on solid and internal hollow doors as it contains a strip that is inserted between the 2 sides of the cat flap to cover the area where the door has been cut. So great for the bedroom or bathroom door and for solid external doors - as it has 2 separate sides which make a very neat look when installed. For a thin area like a garage door you may be better off with a cat flap designed for a screen or glass door. Hope that helps :)

I can't see where it would damage the door. That said, where I live right now, I am using it on a metal door. I can say there have been no indentations or anything to the door. The piece is small, but holds securely.

If you used an appropriate screw with anchor system you could (anchor because most doors are hollow core). If solid door no issue at all and a good idea. We have 4 of them. :)

If you could get the stick on kind heavy duty Maginets NOT THICK BUT STRONG and install at top as long as the lock would let the doors shut without the lock in the way of doors closing even, the weight of the DVD's is the reason the doors probably have to be locked' You could try Magnites at the bottom also, I have just ordered one, glad I found out about the doors, I'm having someone else put it together for me and if the doors are a big problem I'll figure out some way to make it work, but stick on maginets if heavy duty and not to thick so doors do not close uneven should work, but I'd put them on top and bottom on each door, if I have to do that, I'll let you know for sure if it works, I have a bathroom cabinet that has magnits the sticky back sides, make sure you alien them just right, now this is just an UNeducated guess right now, if I have to do that or something else I'll give you a "For Sure Answer" but thanks to all for warning me ahead of time, You may be hearing from me later " IF I HAVE TO DO THAT and IT WORKS" IF IT DON'T I"ll SEND IT BACK!!!

Yes. My door has the same thickness. Do not over tighten it by screwing it in with too much force. if you do you will crack the mirror inside and it will then be useless as my first became. I purchased another as this was my error. other than that my and I are very happy with this product..good luck!

yes, it is not well designed. I almost break the door. you have to pull a bit the side notches and act carefully

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.

Yep I have it and its installed on an interior door (one of those hollow 6 panel ones) and it works great. However not sure if you read all the reviews but this door does make a loud unlocking sound that took my cats a while to to get use too - sounded like a taser. Once my cats got over the fear the door worked great and keeps our 12 lb dog from getting into the laundry room where we have the litter box and where we feed the cats.

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well. No!

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

i have a lighter weight door but probably not much. mine is solid wood & the unit doesn't even flinch with the weight.

I would not say it would be unstable. Whether or not there is any movement with the unit or the load you place in it will on,y depend upon the pace you close/slam the door. However, it just makes sense to secure either the middle or bottom of the door with one of the methods you mentioned. It will not hurt appearance. Good luck.

If you don't use it as directed, yes you can damage your door knob... I marked my floor where the Buddy Bar is susposed to go this way I know exactly where it goes,every time, preventing damage... Toni..
