can you install this on a door without a top beam/bar? I need to install on a metal security door outside and it doesn't have a top horizontal beam.

The pivot arm has to attach to something. If this is something like a free standing gate you might be able to attach the pivot arm to the vertical upright but this is really designed for a standard door.

Yes, it can be installed on metal security door too. And you can use the screws that come with unit, which are metal sheet screws.

No. Because it is mounted on beam and you would not have enough clearance. I would go with wall mounted bar system. You might want to look at Xtreme Monkey Wall Mounted Chin Up Bar on Amazon. Still need enough head/upper body clearance. Good luck.

No. That would allow access to the bar from the outside and render it of no value to security.

Yes. That is actually how I mounted mine. Mine is hanging by the breach block (one of two ways, the other is the trigger blocks.) I wanted it to hang pointing away from everyone as well, so mine is not only horizontal, but the the shotgun is upside down. I am able to reach up comfortably in the dark, punch the code, turn the knob, flip the door up, and pull the gun off the block. I do not know if the trigger guard application would hold the gun in place once the door is up, so I'll only speak to the breach block install. Very solid, very happy with the way I mounted it....Hope that helps.

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

Let me first say that we mounted ours straight. Let me also say I think you should contact the manufacture to get more details. With that said, I see no reason why it can't. The door swings 90% either side. So if you have a door angle that's say 45% and the other is the same or flat, I see no reason why it wouldn't work, as long as you use the proper anchors. Keep in mind when you swing the door to one side, depending on the angle, the door will extend out further away from one side. Good Luck,

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

You will have to turn it upside down. I have mine on a shelf without a ceiling mount. I used some stick rubber tabs to on the top ans some door shims to adjust the vertical position. Unless you have friends who are over 7 ft tall no one can tell.

That is how I am using mine, on a standard pull up bar without a problem, however it is not mounted in doorway frame. On a side note, I found that is easier and faster to only hook one leg at a time and not try to hook both at the same time.

I think it has enough bars to make that a possibility. I have mine over the door. But I think if you attach a metal piece sideways on the back part it's a possibility. It just takes a little creativity

Could this be used on bottom of door instead of top/what do I use for this?

I believe you can screw it down to the top of your (angle iron) trailer, without the bottom bracket shown in the picture, myself I screw it to the sidewall of my box truck, without the bottom bracket, Hope this was helpful

You can install the brackets where ever you want- but you really want to install it through the studs. I hope that answers your question. I am really happy with the bar. It did require a little bit of sanding but it stained beautifully.

The brackets that come with it yes..I mounted mine on my roof rack. You can find different brackets that bolt in your door frame..

I think you could make it work for that, but not "off the shelf". You would have to attach a bracket of some sort to the inside of the sliding part of the door, near the outside edge. It's difficult to explain, but if you look at the product photo, you can see that the end of the bar butts up to the door frame. You would need something on the door for the bar to butt up to. Maybe a piece of aluminum "L". I think a clever handyman could make this work.

No your door should have the torsion bar if not you must convert it to the torsion bar system.The unit will com with all the hardware that you need to conect to the torsion barOn the door.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.
