Has anyone tried this on a 27-28" door? I am reading a few reviews saying it didn't work well on their narrower doors.

It will work, you can cut the foam to adjust to your door size. I bought one for every door in my apartment.

Description says it fits "36 to 48 inch" so it will be longer than you need for your 35 1/8" opening. You will have to cut it down to fit. We have some doors that are only 28" so yes it still works if you cut it smaller than 36".

My doorway is 30" and it fits just fine with a few inches to spare. The 27" could be a problem depending on how thick the jam is.

It won't work with any door that doesn't have a large enough gap between the sill and the bottom of the door. In other words, you have to sacrifice weather and bugs entering the bottom in order to get this wedge far enough under the door to stick there. Then there's the issue of the material upon which it sits. If it sits on a throw rug, the door when opening will slide the stopp back and will be of no use. If it sits on a solid but someone rough surface, it should grab that surface and work to a degree. I found it to be useless in my house, where I favor a tight fit between the door sill and the door. I returned it and bought a different device, which suits my needs.

Someone else said their doorway measures 27 1/2" and the gate wouldn't go that small. Even when adjusted. It was too big.

It should with no problem. Most doors are 36" and most all swinging doors are solid wood. I installed it for a client on a 36" door and there have been no problems.

Yes. I installed it on a 30x80 door. The curtain hangs off a rod that holds against the inner door jamb surface -- its a screw type expander that keeps the rod pressed against the jamb. The curtain is cut tightly so there isn't much room to maneuver if one is tall. The top 4" or so are lost to the seams. But if you are average height you should be fine. Do take the other reviewer's advice on additional magnets. You may not need additional velcro for 30x80 (but wouldn't hurt either).

Sorry, can't help. I use mine on a single aluminum door, and it works great!

This fits well on every door I have in my house. Well, I take that back, I dont know if it will fit every door as I check some of the larger doorframes downstairs and they look to have a 32.5 width. I haven't checked those with this bar. All of my bedroom, hallway and bathroom doors of varying widths below 30" that work well with this bar. I believe the only issue you might have would be with doors less than 27" since stamina bar's side, nearest the user, only has the outside inch or two padded. So, if the door was too small it could possibly scratch the frame of the door if padding extended beyond the door frame causing only the metal of the bar to create the leverage.

We would recommend you to use the Door with 6" Side Fixed Panel.SHDR-20307210 (Fits opening 30-31). Using 30" Door We think too much loading on 2 hinges and you have no exact level of the Walls as well. If any other questions, please contact us. Thank you .Consider above model for more

I'm not an expert, but I know that getting the balance just right so the door neither falls down or pulls itself up is pretty tricky. Therefore I suspect that a longer length may not work well through the whole range of motion. This is a pretty tricky operation and can be dangerous. If you are not sure you should contact a professional installer.

Our doorway was a little larger than what the Trainer was designed to fit. We got some very standard PVC pipe ($6) cut it to make 6 inch lengths, slid it over the "arms" of the trainer (that lean against door moulding), and it works fine. Our doorway was 36 inches. I'm sorry, I don't know the smallest doorway it is designed to fit. I think we needed an extra 3 inches each side, so that means 30 inches it fits. So I have no worries about your 29, and 27 is only one inch each side- I would imagine the company can tell you the minimum.

it is designed to be wider than the door... There is a chance that you are not mounting it properly? It should hang from the chin bar and only rest against the outside of the frame/trim of (the) door... Let me know if you need advice to mount it...

Yes it will fit a 35 inch wide door. The one that I use it on is actually 36 inches wide. It will fit anything from 17 inches up to 36 inches. Perhaps a little more if you do not weigh a lot. Also, the 6 inch maximum trim is for the overhead trim to allow clearance. I don't know why there is a minimum requirement of 5 inches, I have 3 inch trim and it supports my 230 pounds well. The physics involved proves the weight is pushing on the main bar, not pulling down on the trim, when used correctly.

Yes you have some leeway with the door width. I mounted mine on a 30" wide door but the bar easily adjusts to significantly wider door frames up to 36".

I have this unit & am happy with it - but I have a much wider width window than you. If the minimum required is beyond your opening - that would be it. Even mine fit iin such a way that I couldn't put in the 2 side accordian sides typical for the window unit. I only had about 5 - 6 inches excess in total. You may have to go down to a smaller width unit.

Hi,actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.
