I installed this kit on each of my outside doors and none of them required removal.

No the important side is the lock side where the door is weakest. First close the door and see if there is enough room for plate to fit between the door and the casing. If there is it is an easy install. For the hinge side if the door has 3 hinges it is an easy install. If there is 2 have someone to hold the door and remove one hinge at a time. I hade 3 so it was very easy. Remember to predrill the screw holes with a smaller drill bit for a the plate on lock side.

Nope! Everything is retro-fit. You just set it in place and screw it on. You will need to drill some holes for the screws and also depending on which kit you purchase, may need to remove some door hardware, like the the locksets. The door can remain hung.

You don't have to remove the door, however, there may be some prep work for installing the hinge shield section. In my doors, I didn't use the hinge shield because in my personal experience, I've never seen a door kicked in at the hinges. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I've never seen it.

No. This door is installed by snapping the two separate halves together from each side of a screen.

Yes it is easy to uninstall however you have to use a drill to drill through the cabinets or drawer so you would have to fill that in afterwards. The other word of warning is that it does not work on some cabinet types. If you have 2 doors that open outward, they need to have the middle bar behind them. If nothing is between you'll have to have space above the cabinet to mount the backside. Our first house cabinets did not let us use these.

You have to remove the door panel which is a small task but pretty simple to me. Once you have that apart, it's a few bolts and a plug. Totally worth the work for the result.

A few videos on YouTube also. To be honest once you have the door skin off, which is the hard part, you're pretty much done. Took me about an hour start to finish taking my time. Just make sure you have metric tools.

Yes, When moving mine I called up Mesa and they informed me that in fact the door could be removed if necessary. I although did not have to remove it.

There is a groove across the top the door fits in and just hangs down from there......This way the door is easily removed and not obstructing anything with any hardware...works just fine for me and I wouldn't know what to do to improve on it...........

Yes it comes installed but can be removed. I left it in but a friend took hers out so you have a choice. So have it either way!

The door could be removed easily. It is a stock plastic door where it just has plastic hinge nubs.

No, bumper removal is not required, but it is a bit a a tight fit. When I initially tried to get it installed it didn't look like there was any way it would go. You just need to move the brackets around a bit to get them installed. They will go. Make sure to tighten down the bolts holding the hoop to the brackets very snug, so the hoop doesn't wobble.

I think you can technically install this without the brackets, but I used the brackets for extra protection. I have a wood frame door and it just required a few screws into the door. I think a little spackling will be able to fill them up when I take it down. With the brackets, it is pretty solid. I have used it almost every day for about a year.

Make sure you have the door installed securely. It's very thin and can appear secure when in fact it's not. Do you remove the cover frequently?

No it wnt, you might have to remove the door for it to get in and then screw the door back in

You can leave the door off. You have to completely assemble this item. Yourself.

It comes with all the hardware needed to install. If you haven't drilled a hole into the door yet, the directions tell you how to do that first. The opposite knob is also included. These were so easy to install !
