There is no hole making require. Just have to make sure that the door frame is thick enough to accomadate the chin up bar. There is minimal damage to frame. Just a small indent on the front portion of frame.

I've used this in 2 apartments and many doorways and it doesn't leave a mark. The only thing you will come across (if you live in an older apt./house) would be door width. The outside end of the "U" is 30 3/8" and does carry past the chin up bar, so a 29" wide door might get a couple of dimples on either side. Beyond that, it's sturdy and non-marking.

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.

They give you "extra" glue , with the bar. Had one for about a year, no problems - would buy again. Best one I found that's no-drill.

It can be permanent or temporary, you have the option of fixing it to the door jam or just removing it at will. This is a great dog door btw.

You will need small weight dumbbell,stability ball,pull up bar,that fits in a door frame.but it gives you options if you do not have the specific equipment.I really enjoy this workout program and suggest it to anyone I talk to.good luck

You will have to drill several holes in the walls where you suspect any activity and you should be good within a month or so. I had activity through the window sill into my wall and i drilled holes in the sill sprayed this also drilled holes in my inside wall all around every feet and they all were dead i even opened my wall and replaced it with new one the stud was eaten so i replaced that too now i can't buy any more as they are banned in NY but i get my way around when i need it.

I received one for Christmas and just got it installed. Yes, you can remove the bar between uses, it's not hard to take down if you're tall enough to reach the top of the door frame with your hands. It just slides up and out of the two side mounts. The two side pieces are screwed in to the door frame and can't be removed.

I had got the product and it doesn't need holes to be installed. but when I saw my friend's door frame I knew that this product would hurt the frame a lot. the frame will be broken in a long term. but if you don't mind, it would still work alright.

I don't know. I didn't check on any of the details for the chin-up bar being how I'm substituting it with resistance bands. Sorry.

I didn't read my response before I sent it. Sorry. My friend had to replace his door and used the part on the new door. He had the old door hinge break off and the old door could not be reused. I hope this makes more since.

I just don't see the problem. We have ours in the garage and it is holding to adult size bikes. We have a removeable bar across the women's bike so it sits on the arms easier. We just attached the arms. I see no scratches or indentations. There is a knob on the back side of each side of the bar so you can loosen it and move it up and down to make adjustments for how high you want each bar that holds a bike. This is a VERY sturdy bike rack, looks very nice and it is easy to get the bikes off and on. Just not sure what th problem is in marring the paint unless someone is taking the bars off and on but they adjust with the knobs/handles that loosen and tighten. I just don't see the problem.

The chin-up and pull-up bars are not required, other variations are provided, good luck!

I wouldn't see any problem using your chin up bar. Just make sure there's is NO play in the bolts that holt it in place as you will be pulling in it from different angles than its intended for as you'll be pulling sideways and not just up . So if you have bolts and not wood screws than I would say work on. Gerry

Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the sewing on the handles started to come loose, but duct tape has been a lasting and easy fix Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the... » Read More Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the sewing on the handles started to come loose, but duct tape has been a lasting and easy fix « Show Less

This is MADE for beginners to start working on their technique and gaining strength so that they can work up to doing unassisted pull/chin ups, eventually. Depending on how much assistance you will need, you may want to also order stronger bands to help at the beginning. Good luck.

Yes. Each bracket is mounted to the side of the door jamb with three screws. The pull up bar itself is secured by tension, loosened or tightened by screwing in or out each side. Once the initial bracket mounting is complete ( < 10 minutes), the bar can be put up or taken down within seconds.

You may not be able to do full range of motion chinups. I have a similar setup and I can't go down all the way on my chins and I most often only rise up to the point where my nose is at the bar to avoid hitting the ceiling. 6 ft tall.

Locate the top t in total gym XLS on the slider cushion. Imagine a horizontal line from there to the rails. You should see a hole on either side.Just a note, the holes do logically seem as if they are low, but they are correct once your on the slider and you arms are fully extended downward.Good Luck
