I have double front doors (only one is used regularly) - will this device: a) work on double doors? b) be strong enough for 8 year old "runner"?

This device can be defeated by a 18 month old. That was my experience. It might work if the fit is perfect - whatever that is. But a good stiff pull will open my basement door secured with this. I think it is time for simple solution of a cord tied to eyelets on the door and frame with a simple shoe bow knot that can be untied from either side with a simple pull with the door opened an inch or two.

If one door could be anchored in place, like with one of those slide-y bars the goes into the floor then this could be attached that door and used to secure the other, but yeah, if both doors are free swinging then this won't prevent it from opening.

Yes. I have it on my double door. You just have to make sure the counter springs are set so as to not over tax the unit.

I got two of these this year - different ones - and the each have only one door. Two doors would be an excellent idea however.

It should be fine. We bought it for our 8 year old. You can actually adjust the speed to 50% of max power until your child gets used to it. It was a very good purchase and fun for Dad to run as well!

This particular model will not work on a door that opens out. But we do have a product that will work on outwardly opening doors. I will add it to my inventory on Amazon shortly. Thank you for your interest!

If it is a pocket door it will not work, but, most closets have 2 doors and if that's the case this would work. You will need 2.

Check the laws in your state. Now if you are asking if it would be effective against intruders in your home, in my humble opinion, it would doubtlessly be effective against intruders. It'll flat mess them up while you run and call for help.

I do not know if it would work. We use it to get in our front door, which is only one step onto the porch and then a second ramp for the one step into the front hall. We haven't even tried it for the 2 steps down to our family room, as that looked too steep. My best guess would be that it would be very steep.

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

It worked great for me. Setup is fairly easy but just read instructions carefully. This will work fine however he/she will see it and disable it....maybe. put it on the outside of the door so it cannot be disabled from his/her side.

Yes- it's been a good piece of equipment. Must use a standard doorway - will not work otherwise.

I feel one would work for this size of door. I have a long narrow door, 15x40, and the lift is great plenty! I have considered taking one off to see how it would work.

They wouldn't be very effective on a full size door, they aren't strong enough for that. Even for heavy cabinet doors, the manufacturer recommends using two, from what I remember of the instructions.

It will work on any door that firmly shuts, my front door opens out (not like traditional doors that open in). Be aware that this less expensive trainer is two separate pieces so each time you "hook it up" you have to make sure it aligns with your body width or stance. A true TRX trainer usually has the straps meeting a "V" in the middle so adjustment is not so much an issue. I use it primarily to do plank type workouts. I don't bother making the straps shorter for arms workouts. The plank workouts with feet in straps really flattened my stomach.

it may work but i think the door has to be thicker. i'm thinking that type of door may not be very strong for this type.

Hi Albert, I did a little experiment with my front door. If you can close your door, but not have to twist the door knob, this will work. Simply install this into the door frame,shut the door and pull. The door did not open for me,so it should work the same for you. Hope this helps.
