Can you mount this by using a door frame and closed door?

I don't think you can hang it from a closed door, but at one point I had them attached to a pull-up bar in a doorway. The kind I had was removable and cheap, but very functional.

I am sure that you could, however I am not sure what good it would do as the door would then be in your way to using the rings. But as long as your door fits your frame flush and you keep the buckle on the opposite side of the door, you should be ok.

You can mount it anywhere there is enough support for it but it might be to low unless you are planning to use it for a child. You should make sure the door frame offers enough support. Also, make sure to use at least 5/16 thick eyehooks for it. I mounted them on my garage ceiling using a 4ft 2x4 for each ring to provide maximum support. The 2x4s were attached to 3 2x2 on the ceiling for each eyehook

No. They are designed to hang over something. I have them hanging from a rafter on my patio.A door frame is probably not wide enough for ring based activities.

Yes, you could put up a bracket, like used to hold up a bike, but framed door is the way to go. My child has outgrown their door swing and I shed a tear giving it to another young child's mother. We spent many hours playing with the swing before crawling and walking- great buy!

I concur with DeVille. The spring just pushes on the arm and the arm pushes on something. By default that's the door which is hinged and swings on the hinges. If your "door" opened from top to bottom, you might be able to mount it perpendicular, but be aware that the force of of the spring really is only enough to help a door already intent on closing to actually finish the job (and latch, for instance)

We have old schoolhouse doors with strange 1920s door frames- so we actually had to build another extra piece to get them to work in our application. The door closer itself is pretty straight forward- if you have modern doors and standard tools, I don't believe you should have any problems installing them.

The unit is not reliant upon traditional methods of attachment. The frame basically slides over the top and bottom of the door. I do not believe width of the door would be a factor at all. Depending on how thin the doors are you may need a little additional bracing to keep it from moving back and forth, but I doubt it.

This can be either screw mounted or with tape. Used one way for my front door & the other for my garage door.

no you cannot! it requires some type of rail system to be able to mount it! at least the one i have

Definitely can be post-mounted, in fact the mailbox comes with the mounting plate, a "Patented Fast-Trak Mounting Plate for easy installation on existing posts in minutes." But if you are talking about a solid column, such as brick or stone, in which the box is embedded, (surrounded by the other material) I don't see any reason why it couldn't be, except that you'd have to be careful to leave enough room at the very bottom for the door to swing open.

It normally mounts with screws. To mount to a door you could try sticky 3M tape (the white foam stuff) or Velcro.

hmm i don't think it would make sense to do that. the piece comes assembled (it comes ready to mount on your wall) so you would have to remove the door and lock and figure it out. But the inside is uniform so theoretically the hinge could be fastened to the other side if you were so inclined

Yes you can. You install this to the outside rail then the other door slides right passed it.

I suppose you could as long as you nailed it to the wall, it would tip when the doors opened if not anchored to a solid support. I love mine, it has plenty of room and was very easy to hang. Hope this helped.

Yes. It can be mounted anywhere assuming you have the given amount of space necessary. The installation screws aren't very long, so I doubt they'd go through the door.

I think you can mount it either way. I have an older model that I just mounted on top of the molding. The newest one went to my daughters house, and there was no molding on that door, so mounted it directly to the inside of the doorway. There "was" 2 x4's under the drywall, so there was something to bite into and hold the gate.

the door has to be flush with the door frame for the unit to work.. It is mounted on the inside of the door.. NOT OUTSIDE..

Yes, this gate can be mounted in a door way, it does not have to be mounted on any angles to work properly.

I mounted mine to the door frame but you can probably get away by just twisting it to wedge it between the door. I never at all felt like it would fall when it was mounted though.
