Is it OK to install it on dry wall?

Yes. It's not very heavy and it comes with mounting screws. I would suggest using the plastic wall anchors to make sure whatever weight you put on it will hold 100% safely and securely.

Yeah, it is very lightweight. I hung mine with 3M Command strips with velcro so I can take down as needed.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

If drywall and sheetrock are the same yes - that is where mine is installed and has been there for several years.

You can install it on any surface you like, but if mounting on wallboard/sheetrock you'd better screw it into the wood studs. If you just use anchors in the sheetrock don't expect it to support much weight.

Yes thats correct. it hangs on and doesnt flush with dry wall. but my house had this model and I have to match so no choice for me. Atleast I am happy Amazon is carrying this model. (my house built in 1998!)

If your walls have studs at every 16" its good. But, if its a newer building or in a commercial space, there is a good chance its 24" spacing and it would not be the safest thing to do. You'll have to anchor part of the bracket just to the dry wall with anchors. I wouldn't use one of those plastic ones most people use with wall decor, but an actual toggle. Maybe a professional would have a different opinion.

Well i'ts not really hard to install as long as there is a stud behind the drywall. Also depends on what type of wall, and remember to make sure you can open a cabinet door so it won't interfere. The instructions are really good.

Yes if you make sure there are studs behind the drywall to mount it too. The wall mount itself is too heavy to hang on just the drywall.

No, this unit is not protected from the elements and must be mounted in a clean dry place.

As long as the wall socket is a foot or two away from the unit it should be fine, if the wall socket is right above the unit, It just increases the risk of a fire.. It's just a safety Precaution. Just mount it afoot to the left or right of your wall socket it should be okay and try to keep the wire away from the unit also

Actually I think you can install this directly into dry wall without a stud using 1/4" snap toggle bolts. They have them here on Amazon.

If you are mounting to dry wall you can put two bolts into the lone stud. One in the upper slot/hole and one in the lower slot/hole located in the slot/hole next to the middle slot/hole. In the end slot/hole fartherest from the stud I would use 3/16" toggle bolts. You might not want to exceed a 32" LCD or a 40" LED screen size.

I believe it is best to mount on wall and high to make sure dangerous air isn't hugging ceiling. You know, how smoke is high and they tell you to crawl down low where air isn't so bad. I have mine installed in bedroom by door because if you sleeping you need to know something is wrong. Be safe!

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

I'm not a carpenter or an engineer but I feel you should be safe mounting it above the door if you attached it to a stud behind the wall. If you simply screw it into the dry wall, the screws will pull right out causing you to face plant on your first set of TRX pushups. Be sure to pre-drill your holes. The mounting screws are huge and might split the board you are screwing them into if you don't have holes for them to go into.

Not really designed to be installed after drywall...ideally you install unit and then drywall after. the side with the electrical box will need about 2-3 inches extra clearance (I cut the drywall around the box and then patched it after install). the dimensions are about 9" by 15" with a notch needed for elec. box on top of that.

This is a heavy piece and I wouldn't mount it into drywall. Run a couple of 2x4's horizontally linking your wall studs and screw the pull up bar into the 2x4's. If you don't, the side bolted into the drywall without a stud to support will pull out. It may not be pretty but it will be functional. Good luck

No, not at all. As long as you can find a wooden stud, you should be fine screwing it in by hand. I have a metal frame behind my wall so I had to get special screws to hold it in JUST the dry wall and it's holding steady with about 10 pounds of books on there. So it's more about the screws yet get, rather then this product.

I don't recommend for you to install it in drywall. To heavy for it. But if you want to risk it, the box comes with drywall plugs and screws.
