Is anyone else doing hanging over door and have this obstacle?

[Catchthebusnow]

Hi!! I was wondering if anyone is in a similar place to me, no good anchor for FSH so wanting to go by the "over door" method. My problem is that I live with my parents and I'm concerned about the rope getting wedged such that the door won't open (obviously that's not a problem during CTB, but if it happens during testing, that could be an issue - like if testing reveals it's not a stable setup, and now I can't explain to my parents why there's a rope trapped in a door…). I was just wondering others who are hanging by door if anyone had any experiences or advice or anything? please Thanks so so much!!

I'd find something else -- doors move, and when you will almost cetrtainly struggle during your final attempt, your rope could get dislodged, and you could hit your head somewhere. That would be inconducive to your final goal.

Yeah it's not ideal … I am hoping though that if I can close and lock the door, it shouldn't have anywhere to go though, right?

couldn't it slide?

Hmm… it doesn't seem like it could slide if the door is closed and locked and it's tied to the dumbbell at the bottom on the same side as the rope?
