How much space is needed above the molding for the wall support bar (our ceiling is low, leaving a small gap between the door frame and the ceiling)?

Not that much. But I think you will find there is really no way to attach it to any doorway.. It will all come crashing down on you.

I didn't have a problem because my door frame was slightly inset from the wall. The molding fit fine upon reinstall.

Space between slats is just short of 2 inches. I love this gate- holding up great and super light and non intrusive.

What is the vertical dimension of the joist? Is it exposed? Any other joists in the vicinity? My joists were only 2" wide and too close together for the bar mounts. I got a 4x4 and put that over the top of the joists and then secured the mounts/bar to the 4x4.

This should be answered directly from the manufacturer, try 1-800-642-4328. When mounted from the ceiling the minimal wall clearance is 18" !

It is 2.5 inches between the bars - That is measuring the "empty space" Of course the foam bumpers on the bars would not be useful in your case.

My bar is attached to the wall some 6-7 inches above tile surround. I have approximately 8 inches of inner shower curtain below top edge of tub. No install issues, is straight forward

I installed it with out morticing. The gap between the frame the the door was large enough installation was not an issue. You will need at least 1/8 inch gap between frame and door.

The space between the bars is 2 1/2 In., but the space between the end of the gate and the wall (door frame) will very according to the size of the opening. It is 3 in. on my doors. My grown cat goes through with ease on the end.

Just measured mine. You are correct, there is a extension that goes out side the wall that's almost 2 inches. You will need 3 3/4 inches in depth. You are close enough that you may be able to use this unit by installing it with the 3 1/2 depth you have and using some white caulk around the edges for the 1/4 inch space you may have, other wise you may need to find a diff product.

These hinges require 1/8" space at the top and bottom and 1/8" space at the side walls.If you are butting two doors togrther only allow 1/16" for each door so you have a 1/8" gap between the doors.

That should be enough space. I recently got this (direct from manufacturer) and think it's a good piece of equipment. 4-6" (from end of door trim to wall) should be fine.

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.

The product says fits up to a 36" doorway and my doorway is actually 35 & 1/2 inches and it has been very stable. I believe there would be just enough room for a small amount of additional expansion as there was enough overlap of the inner bar into the outer bar you perform pullups on - so I would say probably (underline probably) it could stretch to fit a 37" door.

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

The space between the bar back and wall is 2-5/8". The depth from the front (outside) the bar and the wall is 3".

I just measured my doorway and 5" is right at the borderline. You could definitely rest it on the trim, but if you wanted to go above the trim, it might not clear it.
