If my door is not sturdy will pulling on the bands damage my door?

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

I am having to use a hollow core door for mine and I just make sure the door is securely latched. In my first few months of using the BBJ Tower I have not had any issues with it causing damage to the door...the pressure during use seems to be balanced out.

If you fit the device properly you should not have a problem with it damaging the door and most important to make sure while you are pulling on the cords that you do not hurt yourself.

I have pretty weak and doors as well. As long as you fit the device on the door properly on the outside of the door you won't have any problems. The door must be pulled towards you you have the full support of the door frame.

Mild pulling would probably be OK. However, there are other, more expensive, alternatives that are made of metal and may be more suitable.

Absolutely not an issue. I've been using mine for about 2 months and the band hasn't fallen off once.

Don't worry Chet! My home has hollow doors also and believe it or not the UltraAnchor SPREADS the force around the entire door and exerts less stress then using a door anchor on only one area . Go for it! Well worth the investment if your into resistance bands

What are shildren? Yes, best to secure to door way, I just have it tension tighten and tighten it every few days.

It might not be an issue with it breaking the door as it would be the possibility that the pulley/string might not be long enough to reach you sitting in a chair. You may need to use a very high chair, such as a bar height stool/chair in order for it to reach and harness your head properly and be effective.

yes, but if the door is too heavy which mine was, it will droop down and not return properly...follow thier door weight guide. Good people to deal with..no hassel on returns.

dont know if the door will support being walked on. the metal seems thick enough.

I agree that you should ask support at bodylastics, but I suspect that it will depend on how/where you hook/place the bands for use. I have several heavy duty metal anchors screwed into a door frame. You would need multiple places for adjustment of the bands for different exercises. They should work fine for you, I think.

The only place you need to be careful is right next to the magnet on the door. Just move those and it probably will close. Also if you have too many large necklaces they may interfere with the other side closing but not often. Move them around a little and it will close.

No, if kept very well it shouldnt be a problem, just dont force the rubber bands to streth to hard.

Probably....I have these on 12x12 insulated doors and they don't strain at all. Make sure your existing doors are perfectly balanced first!

The holder doesn't wobble so much as the ironing board hanging from it does when the door is moved. An elastic tie-down wrapped around the ironing board would prevent that. I've never bother with it because it doesn't bother me.

Not if you add a little self stick felt to the door side. We have three of these and they work GREAT !! No way the door can be forced open, especially if anchored properly. Hope this helps.

Simply place the anchor point over the door and pull it shut. Your body weight while excercising should be pulling the door shut as opposed open. The is a small, firm rubber cylinder inserted in between the strap at the anchor point. The only thing that should be touching the door frame is the strap. Hasn't damaged the doors in my crappy apartment, so you should be good to go.

No, you need the leverage from the top it the trim. I moved into a place without Tim around the door and the bar did not work. I would guess if you had to place it on instead of above the trim, a similar result would occur.

the magnet seems strong enough. I think the question would be if you are able at attach it to the door (assuming the door is metal)
