About those doors...I have some questions

A basic FAQ for indoor monkii bars use, pertaining to...doors!

Q: I don't have any doors that open towards me. Now what??

A: You have probably seen that in the videos, we encourage you to set your monkii bars up on a door that allows you to "pull it closed" with your weight while monkii-ing around. This is the most ideal situation. The best door is a solid wood door with a firm latch that you can pull towards you so that more of your body weight is absorbed into the frame of the door. 

If you only have doors that open the other way, you can still see if they will work, you just want to proceed more cautiously and test them carefully before you put your full weight on them in a row or pushup etc. position. We don't want you to fall on your face or crack your coconut. 

Exterior doors can be a great option as well, as they are usually quite sturdy and have good latches, even if they open the wrong way. 

Q: When I set up the monkii bars, the case keeps sliding around and pulls through the gap between the door and the frame. How do I stop this?

A: It sounds like the door stop on the backside of your setup isn't flipping up the way it should. Get a helper monkii, and have them stand on the other side. When you close the door and give the case a tug, the door stop should flip up to hold the case in place. If it does not do so properly, the case is probably installed a bit incorrectly. Usually this happens because the case is pulled down too far on the front side of the setup. Try letting more of the case material hand towards the back so the door stop has room to engage. 

Q: It's my first time using it and the case ripped because it slipped through the door!

A: This definitely shouldn't happen! Make sure you email us with a photo so we can replace it. [e-mail]
The most common cause of this is also the door stop not flipping up (see previous Q&A above) but also, sometimes the S buckle hook gets caught on top of the door when you are installing the bars, and it causes an improper install. Ensure the S buckle is closure has cleared the top of the door and is hanging on the back side.
