Installation 

 
Gorilla  Gym  attaches  and  removes  from  most  standard  door  frames  in  seconds  but  make  sure 
your door frame and the moldings around it are safe, secure, and solid. If you see any breaks or 
weakness in the frame or surrounding moldings, your Gorilla Gym should not be used as serious 
injury may result. Once you are sure that the doorway you chose has the correct door moldings 
around it, you are ready to install. 
 
1)  Place the 

‘Safety Shim’ (16) with the sharp 

end  behind  the  middle  door  frame  molding  on 
the same side as the door hinge. Make sure it 
is inserted and secure behind the molding. The 
Safety  Shim  helps  keep  the  Gorilla  Gym  in 
place  while  you  secure  the  Vice-Grips  on  the 
sides of the doorway moldings. (See figure A) 
 
 
 
 
 
2) Place the bottom of the Gorilla Gym’s plastic 
bar (2) into the grasp of the Safety Shim while 
moving the Gorilla Gym to rest onto the top of 
the  door  frame.  (See  fig.  B).  This  allows  the 
long horizontal bar (3 + 4) to rest momentarily 
on  the  outside  of  the  doorway  trim  with  the 
Vice-Grips (5) hanging in between. 
 
 
 
 
 
3)  make  sure  Vice-grips  (5)  are  open  enough.  Next  guide  the  open  Vice-Grips  on  both  sides  to 
fully slide flush against the interior door molding trim (See figure C). First on one side, make sure 
the Vice grips align with the interior doorway trim. Tighten the Vice-Grips with the Adjuster (6) until 
contact is tight with the interior doorway trim. Repeat with the other Vise-Grip on the other side of 
doorway. (See Figure D). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN with the Adjusters (6) as this might damage 
your interior doorway trim. After both vise-grips are secured on each side, tighten each vise grip 
with the Tightener (7) very well to secure their position on the long horizontal bar. ( See figure E). 
IT IS IMPORTANT that you tighten each Vise-Grip so no side-to-side movement by the Vice-Grips 
is possible.
