Check your door molding before buying this product--it may not fit
It doesn't fit every door and it won't work for me. The molding above my doors is 1" thick/4.25" and that's too high--it appears this product was designed for smaller molding. The top horizontal bar must rest *on top of the molding*; otherwise, it won't stay up when you're pulling up on it (while a lot of your weight will be redirected into the door frame, there's still a downward vector which the molding above the door absorbs). The photo demonstrates how the unit hangs, and I'm about 0.25" shy of fitting. Sigh. Also, this product probably won't work on anything other than flat molding: the top bar is only 0.75" and probably doesn't provide enough offset for decorative moldings, which would probably get crushed. These size limitations aren't on Amazon's web site or in the manual, which I read before unpacked the product; this is clearly a vendor miss. Other products from this vendor note a molding size restriction of 3.5". Update: vendor contacted me and offered a completely satisfactory solution, so I'm boosting my rating. Customer service matters!
