It seems like this kind of bar would rip the door frame off? Also, is it easy to set up and remove or does it have to stay on?

Depending on the frame of the door. The one I've set it up on is solid as can be. The set up is easy and no it doesn't have to stay on. PS if your weight exceeds 240lbs I don't recommend it.

I am 6'2" and 220 lbs. my door frame does not seem to be in danger. All the pressure is actually on the 2 bars on the side pressing against the front of the door frame, and these are well enough padded to not cause damage. I leave mine up mostly, but have pulled it down 4 or 5 times and have found it very easy to take down and put up. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have this attached to my pullup bar (one that is not screwed or bolted to the doorframe, but that hangs on the doorframe) and have had no issues with it. Just make sure that the direction you are exerting your force is in the direction that will push the supports into the doorframe instead of rotating the pullup bar away...if that makes sense.

Correct, you cannot close the door when up. You could remove and re-attach however. Hanging upside down, I don't know, as the stability of the bar depends on downward force and getting your knees around it might jostle it and make it come lose.

Unfortunately, no. I didn't pay close enough attention when I bought this, but instead of returning it I rigged up a bar to hand it from. This is definitely not a hang from any kind of a door item.

It doesn't attach, it's uses leverage to hold strong on the door frame. Refer to image in link below. If link doesn't work, Google Image Search "Pull Up Bar Door Frame" The top straight black bar rests against the top of the inside of the door frame, this keeps it up. The two horizontal bars extending out the sides rests on the outside of the door frame and works to keep the unit from swinging. It's basically physics. Please note, if your doorframe is in or near a corner you'll NEED at least 4inches of space before the corner for it to hold properly. Again refer to the image below for reference. No anchors or screws into the wall. I was able to hang a 300lb person from the unit without damaging my door frame http://www.easypaleo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/DSCF34161.jpg

I'm not sure how you would attach the straps to a bar. The straps work well when using a sturdy door . . . plus the straps are configured so you can set them at different settings depending on the stretches you wish to do.

It really depends on how much clearance you have above the door. In my opinion, even if it does close, it's likely going to damage the top of the door frame. I personally, don't think you'll be happy with it.

There are brackets that mount to the doorway that hold the bar in place. Because of these brackets you will not be able to close the door in this doorway unless you cut notches out of the door or doorway. I have seen other products that mount in a closed door frame, perhaps that would be a good option for you. Good luck!

I believe mine came with plastic hooks to hook onto the door frame, then you just close the doors to lock everything into place. I've only ever used the cross bars so I'm not sure how well they work.

The bar doesn't fold. It can be unscrewed. The legs themselves would be a pain to get off because they painted the threads with thick blue paint. It was a tight fit screwing them on.

You can still open and close the door and leave the bar attached, if the closed door is not flush with the doorway front and back... You can close the door in the doorway you would be thinking of using, and you will see how much room you would be dealing with to attach the ends of the bar to. You only need like just under 2", I think they are anticipating that you'd be using a doorway that's not completely filled by the closed door

If I remember correctly...there are 4-6 screws that hold it in place to your sliding door frame. So it isnt a quick popout but you could take the screws out fairly quickly. I personally think it needs to be screwed to the frame otherwise your slider wont be secured and anyone could pull it open

No, you need the leverage from the top it the trim. I moved into a place without Tim around the door and the bar did not work. I would guess if you had to place it on instead of above the trim, a similar result would occur.

You could disable it by removing the bar that pushes on the door. However, this seems a little inconvenient if you wanted to disable it on a regular basis. The bar is threaded on one end and can be unscrewed.

You don't have to permanently remove it, you will have to cut to notches in it for bull bar to mount to the brackets.

There is a "soft mount" and the recommended "hard mount". So basically it's like a tension rod that you keep twisting in the door frame until there is enough tension to hold the bar. That's the soft mount. The hard mount you screw in to the door way.

It is very easy. The bars clasp together at the top with a retractable close. When you want to take it apart, you pull the two handles and the frame separates. I LOVE this crate and it is so easy to put up and take down. Much better than a hard crate.
