Portable for a standard door.
I bought this because I lived in an apartment. I did NOT use anything other than the bar to work out with; in other words I did NOT use the extra brackets. It is my opinion that you don't "have" to use them but they are there for safety/legal reasons. If you have controlled and thoughtful motion the way it sits on the door frame and pushes on the sides makes it sturdy enough. However to remove the bar you lift it up (as seen on TV). If you were not paying attention during a workout I can see where the lawyers are afraid you might dislodge it... so therefore the extra security of the brackets. Your choice.
Beware however that the bar fits only standard doors. I've since moved into a townhouse with smaller spaces and if there isn't room ABOVE the door it won't work (the ceiling is flush with the door frame in the areas I have doors). Also your door can't be WIDER than the bar (as in two double doors that open) because it needs the sides of the door frame to push against.
If you have normal sized doors this is the one for you. The brackets? You can probably do without but in case a lawyer is reading this... I'll say that you should use the brackets....More detail ...
