Can my doorframe handle this? Will it break it?

I have been using this on my doorframe for awhile now with no issue on stability. Some of my molding is loose prior to this and it still works. The only problem I had, is my house is a modular home and has wider frames down the center so it doesn't fit in the livingroom or bedrooms. The pullup bar also needs to extend beyond the frame so if you have door jams that butt up against a wall it will not fit. Only one door jam in my house works with this product (bathroom). Other than those considerations I have enjoyed the product

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.

Whatever you attach them to needs to be able to support the weight. The main problem with a doorframe is that there is not much room to move around so positions for use would be very limited.

could be. remove it and see if the door will close. if it does you may not have assemble it correctly.

Yes it is fairly sturdy but I wouldn't put too much weight on it. You may damage the connecting door hinges to the unit.

I would pick something sturdier, even for airsoft. In my opinion, if you were going through a door and inadvertently bumped the door frame with this sight, I would not be surprised if it broke into several pieces.

Might be a little too lite for it. Without knowing the weight of the door or the amount of cycles, it would be hard to give you a definite answer. Sorry!

Not well at all - very fragile. Wall, maybe, if you go light and supereasy. Ground, be assured that it will break. Mine broke during installation.

Are you talking about the molding or trim around the door possibly being damaged or the actual top of the door frame snapping?

Your weight is held by supports that are screwed into your doorjamb, rather than the bar pressing outward on the doorframe to hold itself in place, which can push the door frame apart. All standard door frames should be strong enough to support the bar, as long as you aren't over the recommended weight of the equipment.

I would say it would work just fine. You'd probably have to attach the velcro on the outside of the doorframe. I got mine because I rent and it won't do any damage!

We installed ours on a hollow door and it's loaded with canned goods, however, if you do not intend to secure it properly, then no it won't even hold together.

I would think that you could damage a door if it were not sturdy.But, more importantly you could damage yourself.

My husband has used ours for several months now and it hasn't done any damage. If installed correctly, it shouldn't damage your door.

The door frame will have no problem holden you and the chin up bar;however after a year of use some chipping occurred. I recommend using a towel or something to take off some of the pressure. Hope this helped-Henry

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.

Look at the full product descriptions. They tell you what size and weight doors the closers can handle. I have one of these on a standard aluminum frame, glass, storefront door in a retail center and have had no issues.
