How likely is it to break the molding off the door frame?

Not very likely. I have been using mine for minths with no problem. (I weigh 115lbs). My fiance uses it too and he is about 160lbs. We use it 2 to 4 times a week.

The molding over the door only supports the weight of the gym. When you use it the door frame supports your weight. So, it won't break the top molding but it might dent/ding the side molding. Probably depends on how much you weigh.

It is a thick terrycloth- like material. I have not had any door damage, but I suppose if you steamed in the same spot for an excessively long time it would be possible, although I think you ruin the item you were steaming long before the door. I think you will have good luck with it!

The door frame will have no problem holden you and the chin up bar;however after a year of use some chipping occurred. I recommend using a towel or something to take off some of the pressure. Hope this helped-Henry

I highly doubt it. I have about a foot of the molding leftover and will try it out when I get home from work.

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

I placed thin cardboard shims on the door portion on some of the hinges to help the door with closing flush with the face molding. I also need to re-drill most of the holes.

Very little damage if any at all. The door frame I have been using this has a thicker lip than most and did not require the hardware installation. However, if it is needed the hardware only requires a few screw holes that could be easily patched if necessary.

If the keypad were to fail, the only remedy in my opinion, would be to find another way in and unlock it from the inside. It would probably be cheaper to break a window than destroy the door breaking in. The keypad and lock seem very sturdy and I would not worry about that problem too much.

If the door swings out to open yes depending on the molding that is around the door.

That would depend on the door. The narrow edge should be able to be wedged into the crack of any door I've seen, but unless the metal is just a thin skin on a light frame, it probably does not have the length to give you enough leverage.

Probably at your open risk but I wouldn't want to as it may end up with mold.

As other responders have posted, the door or knob would fail long before this bar would. It is a very heavy gauge steel and unlike other bars with plastic parts, this bar is incredibly heavy duty in construction. Any force sufficient to cause it to fail would have broken through your door supporting structures long before the bar would fail. Since door frames and doors are not indestructible, I use this primarily as a means for slowing entry and also to increase the sounds of someone attempting entry so as to give me more time to prepare and arm myself.

If you can install it UNDER the pane-dividers, it will be more secure. Remember that the glass will still break, so I'd be afraid of the smaller panes breaking out of the frame, unless the whole of the glass in the door were covered.

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

From the specs: "The Door Guard can also easily be removed in seconds." That wouldn't be true if it was glued on.

It may leave a slight impression on the inside wall above the door. But the molding and door frame should support it as long as you don't jump on the bar.

Depends on the enclosure. The sides where the door mounts and closes to would need to be structurally supported on teh backside of the fiberglass. THe door is heavy on the hinges, so if the fiberglass is not securely attached to a doubled 2x4 or something similar, it will more than likely pull the fiberglass out of shape and possibly tear it. It needs to attach through the finished surface into something very solid. Probably best to consult with the manufacturer or look up the install sheet/specs. Should be available online.
