how is the door attachment for these? Do they stay in place firmly without causing damage to the door or frame?

I can't see where it would damage the door. That said, where I live right now, I am using it on a metal door. I can say there have been no indentations or anything to the door. The piece is small, but holds securely.

The door attachment needs a bigger ball. I use a stopper from another brand.

It stays in place as long as the door is completely closed and there is no damage to the door frame. I use it for pull ups and chin ups and I pull the bands back very far without any problems.

No, those really do not look like they come off. The hinges are exposed, so they have no screw or bolt visible, otherwise somebody could remove the door even if it was closed. Anyway it's not that heavy, I think it's about 125 lbs. It drags well.

Not at all, although it comes with some screws and they say if you attach them it will be more stable but you don't have to because it is very stable once you hang it on the top of the door. So the screws I didn't use them, they are not neccassary.

Hello - The "over the door" piece is in a "fixed" position. Thank you for your question.

Hasn't happened to me I have used these for decades, my grandmother gave me a couple and I'm hooked all pun intended had to have more....they arrive with optional screws; never once have I attached to doors as I love to move them all around for different reasons, seasonal, moving closets, traveling and laundry etc.

I can tell you that the hinges are pretty sturdy and can hold weight but they come with screws that are about 1/2in so they don't go that far into the door frame. I used them for bedroom doors

The doors do not effect the stability. There are vertical hinge slots on the main frame, similar to house doors, they are fairly small, not very visible till you are pretty close.

We have ours on a metal door. Our house was broken into and we used these for the replacement. 2 weeks later, another burglary was attempted however they were unsuccessful with the entry because of this set! Highly recommend them. Love it!!

Hangs over the door, the screws attach the hangers to the unit. I did use screws to stabilize the unit at the bottom.

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.

Yeah, it's about like any other over the door thing.. a little tighter but still closes and no damage on the frame or the door

There is an attachment, actually a strong band of fabric with a loop, for the bands to go through, and the end has a thickened portion that can be placed on the other side of a door frame when the door is opened, but will not slip through when the door is closed. It acts like an anchor.

There is a door anchor included so you close the door on it and it stays put. Just make sure you do it with a sturdy door! :-)

Yes. The two mount brackets are small and centered at mid-point of door jam. They won't interfere with the doors function. Great exercise tool.

I already had a mount on the inside of the door that the hook mount slid over perfectly. Would recommend that design rather than over-the-door to prevent scuffing the door.

Not that I know of, but stability has not been a problem for me although I do not have it stretched out straight and each end is against the door frame and wall. My two dogs are small but active and they only got over by using a chair that was left too close and that was easy to remedy.

Yes, you can attach it with the friction and pressure caused by twisting and expanding the width of the bar, and if you continually checked that it hadn't loosed up it would likely be safe - if you had it in tight enough. Tighten it too much and it can crack your door frame. I use the screws so I don't have to worry about it. The holes they make aren;t so big, and can be filled with white sealant if you take it down - and would be pretty hard to notice the holes.
