Door Swing Basics
A door swing is a type of swing that mounts over the top of a door and is secured by its frame. Despite the name similarities, these should not be confused with a sex swing or a sex sling.
Door swings generally have 2 small bars at the top of the straps that can be placed over the top of the door. When the door is shut, the swing is held into place by the frame. Within the door swing category, there are 2 subtypes. The standard and the deluxe swings.
Standard swings do not include a strap for your butt and are usually cheaper. The deluxe versions have a large strap for sitting on.
This is a pretty significant difference in price and comfort. Some people can sit comfortably with straps just around their legs for support, most can't do it for long periods or at all. So, in general, it is better to opt for the deluxe style. This is indicated on all door swings on this site in the specs section under “primary strap”.
Choosing a Door Swing
The choices for a door swing are pretty simple. The first question to ask yourself is if you need a primary strap. Without it, the swing will be slightly cheaper, but I always prefer to have the primary strap for comfort. Plus there is no reason to penny-pinch the slight difference in price. Trust me and go for the deluxe.
Once you choose the type of door swing, next you need to consider the padding and strap size. As a general rule, wider and more padding is more comfortable.
Positions
One of the major downfalls of this type of swing is the limited number of positions or the limited range of motion. Because the door is physically blocking where you can move, you are basically limited to two types of positions: back against or facing the door. Within these two there are some variations such as having your legs higher or lower which will rotate your hips/pelvis and cause different sensations or a few positions for oral sex. Our positions guide has a complete list of all door swing sex positions.

The solution for you could be a dual hook such as the Wild Side or the Screamer mounted in a door frame using a
Installation
Door swing installation is fairly straight forward. Since all of the door swings come with attached straps or simply clip the straps into the door mount, there is nothing to assemble. Just put the small tubes at the end of the straps over the door, shut the and pull the straps a little bit to ensure they are pulled up tight to the top of the door frame.
A solid or well-constructed door is recommended. If you have one of those cheap doors that are hollow core and essentially made from cardboard, you will have some problems. It is also a good idea to hang the swing on the inside of the door. (the side that you pull towards you). These rules are more optional if you have a heavy solid wood or metal door frame such as you would find in a hotel.
