Can I get a door bracket that is made to properly fit on standard 1 1/4" doors?

If your door is too skinny for the bracket, then perhaps adding a wood block next to the door inside the bracket, vise grip style, might help.

The screws are 5/8" long, but the bracket itself takes up 1/8", so they should work. My door was around 1/2" and they didn't come through. If in doubt, I would use 1/2" pan head screws.

I'm facing the same issue, which means that 4" diameter poles are not that uncommon. Not much of a "universal" bracket. Maybe we'll come up with a solution, but in the meantime I am quite disappointed that the listing did not clarify that the pole must be 3 1/2".

Hi Hal, our doors are big and heavy and this does not work very well on them. The hinge pin is 3.5 inches, so we are thinking that this may not be long enough for you if you need 4 inches. Hope this helps.

Yes, go into a retailer to get the size needed if the suggestions are not enough, then you can decide to purchase online, at a retailer or bulk club. When I look at the back looks like a standard 4 hole bracket. I decided I did not want to place on the wall at this time. There are instructions in the manual to hook it up. Hope it helps!

The bracket is 1 5/8 which hangs from the top of the door. You may be able to flex it to fit your door. But you would have to see if it doesn't cause any problem closing the door.

Actually the hooks are 1 1/2" I have a 1 3/4" door and they are too small. They are weak and bend too easily.

The glass door I put it on is 1/8". it looks as if the hinge would support a slightly larger thickness, may be 3/16", but I don't think 1/4" would fit in the hinge. THis is just an observation/guess. I hope this helps.

It's been awhile since putting my bar up. I remember it takes a bit of turning to get it in place. I'd say 1/4 inch is too tight. You probably need at least a couple of inches of space to secure it. Once installed they are VERY strong. Good Luck.

I don't think so. My door is 1 and 3/8 inches and it fits perfectly. It might squeeze to 1 and 1/2 with some work but not much more...

It might. The hinge has several holes for numerous size installations. Plus you can also drill holes when/ if you need to. Mine is 1 inch and we had to do some tweaks to make or fit.

the brackets have an outside diameter of about 2 inches. the bracket itself is made from about 1/16th in thick steel, there are 4 holes in the bracket pre-made, and some 1 in. long phillips head screws are provided. these screwa seemed short initially, but after I couldnt find my longer ones, I just used what they provided, and it works fine. the width of the door frame could be as small as 2inches. if you wanted to mount it to a stud (1.5in.) I dont see a problem.just remember to take the black rubber end caps off before mounting.

A 1/4" drill bit will fit. Have used one before. I'm sure you could drill through a metal door, if you're using the appropriate drill bit. Good luck

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

I can attest that since my doors were too thick, the provided brackets did not fit, but a quick email sent to customer service via the Whitmor.com website, and a week later, I had wider brackets free of charge, and they fit my doors perfectly. Mine are those old doors and about 2 inches.

If I remember correctly, it is about 1 and 1/2 inches. It fit my standard door perfectly.
