Son's didn't destroy the frame, but did dent the molding around the door and roughed up the paint, along with leaving black smudges. Fixable since our trim is painted (I can fill the dents with wood putty), but a bigger problem if you have stained wood trim. If doing it again, I'd probably attach strips of wood to the wall right next to the door so the bar could rest against those and keep the pressure off the trim.
