How does this 'attach' to the door frame? I live in an apartment and can't leave any permanent damage like nail holes.

I live in an apt as well. It attaches using a tension type rod like many shower curtains use. Definitely no permanent damage with it.

No it doesn't leave anything. It comes with self-adheasive velcro strips. We really like ours, as do our dogs.

It fits like a shower curtain rod. Just twist is to the length you want, place between the door frame and it will stick. Should not cause any damage to door frame. The velcro strips might peel pain a bit, but you can probably get away without the velcro.

It has a tension rod that adjusts that runs across the top (works like a shower curtain rod). Their is a rod holder that you can put in (comes with) that will need to be screwed in. I haven't put it in but plan on it as the tension rod slips down due to dogs and us going in and out of it. The sides are used with 3-4 velcros on each side (so they may leave marks after you take the Velcro off, I haven't tried it yet).

Note that the Velcro tabs are pretty likely to pull off door frame paint when removed (assuming they're stuck to painted wood like ours). You might consider using some sort of less aggressive tape if your landlord will be scrutinizing every inch of the place. Or you could plan to sand and repaint those spots.

I used a few skinny little nails on the top right & left corners. They could be spackled easily

It is a super easy twist length rod (kind of like a shower curtain rod) - as you twist it it it extends and the pressure of the ends holds it up. Hope that helps!

You must first take the door off its hinges. Then you simply attach it with staples, nails, or screws. Fasteners are not included.

I had got the product and it doesn't need holes to be installed. but when I saw my friend's door frame I knew that this product would hurt the frame a lot. the frame will be broken in a long term. but if you don't mind, it would still work alright.

It mounts to wood flat surfaces with wood screws internal to the box to prevent access or removal without combination. Good question on mounting to metal door frame. I would not be confident of any type bonding agent as it could be overcome by chemical reactions. If the door can be drilled through, I would recommend machine screws that are long enough to go through the door where lock washers and nuts could be used.

There are grooves to slide the artificial nail on each fingertip. Although I didn't use adhesive with the nails, I don't see why it wouldn't stayif adhesive was used.

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

For the cabinet carcase (the box), use screws plus glue for strength, not nails. Especially if the cabinet is for a heavy load. For attaching a face frame (with or without doors) to a plywood cabinet the nailer is just what you want: the small holes are easily filled to be just about invisible.

Ours doesn't. I believe that there is a way to do it but when my husband put it in there was something about screwing it to the door frame. We are renting so we didn't screw it in and we put a stick in it.

It has holes to screw into the door itself. It fits perfectly and the magnetic bottom sticks together after the dogs come in or go out. We are very satisfied. Although it wont last forever and we will order another when this one wears out.

there are plastic lugs on the end of each strap. you put these over the top of the door, then when you close the door they jam on the other side. You need to mount them such that the door would open away from you, this uses the door frame itself to stop the door bending. i use mine in rentals/hotels and never had it damage a frame.

I picked up a ratchet strap (the kind used to tie things down to a truck) to secure the tree to my door. The straps are cheap at any hardware store (~$2) and come in a couple different colors. It isn't the most beautiful solution, but it keeps the whole thing stable and doesn't damage the door. My cats love this thing.

It looks like the glass is held into place by a simple rubber seal around the edges of the opening in the door on the side facing into the cabinet (i.e. not visible with the doors closed). We think the rubber seal could pretty easily be removed, which would free the glass and leave the door/wood frame intact. We didn't actually try to remove the seal, but it definitely looks doable, and it looks like removing the seal and glass would expose up to 1/4" lip to attach something else to.

The part that touches the door is a soft rubber-like material. It should not damage your doors.

The helper clamps onto a standard angle bar style frame. No holes are needed. This holds it firmly against the floor.

If you are using the weather stripping that came with the door, it won't matter - it will fall off when you open and close the door a few times anyway. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some decently sticky and a bit thicker foam insulation. Cut it to fit so that the insulation attached to the opposite side frame of the sliding door and rubs, but doesn't adhere to the stationary window. Good luck - we and our dog LOVE our door, but the insulation had to be replaced almost immediately after installation due to the lack of adhesiveness and the rubber grips the stationary window too much for it to stay on.

It attaches with screws. They are short enough that you can use them on the inside of a cabinet door and they will not penetrate the outside of the door.

The hooks are metal and could scratch the door, but you could easily wrap the edges in felt or something similar to prevent them from doing any damage.
