A few numbers. If one follows the instructions and relies upon friction between the rubbery ends of the bar and the door frame, then the friction coefficient will not exceed 1 (unless the rubber chemically adheres to the frame). This means the sideways force on the door frame must be about the weight of the pull-up person plus whatever safety margin one might build in to cope with the ‘impulse’ associated with the pull up. You’re definitely right about the screws. 😇

Regarding not over-tightening the bar.... won't the use of the bar, over time, tighten it? Or loosen it? Depending on which way you are facing? I am imagining that there is some rotational force on the bar when using it. We are needing to get a bar for our daughter for physiotherapy use at home and trying to decide what type of bar to get that will be the right mix of ease of installation and safety.

the friction on most ones holds up to a 100kg. the point of not using the brackets is that you can use it for multiple heights. it's friction and pressure that will hold it once you really twist and secure it. Good looking cracks btw.
@alexjulius69

Not worth it, just get 2 pairs and install them with support. If you're relying on the friction alone without support: 1) You're guaranteed to fall from the friction losing its grip sooner or later, and you can occur life-devastating injuries (like being paralyzed). 2) You'll destroy your door frame by squeezing it tightly everytime.

i'd use bigger and longer screws for sure. especially for something like this that's weight-bearing and under frequent use. if it's ornamental, those screws would be fine, but this is a functional item. in a lot of civil engineering projects, for example, they always over-estimate the use and wear of certain components and have a lot of redundancies to ensure safety. so if they build a highway that can carry X number of cars, they'll design it so that it can support 1.5-2X the intended load, and build multiple support systems in case one, two, or a few of them fail.

While the Amazon image is definitely disproportioned, the door frame must be about about 40 inches wide (way outside the specs for this unit) what is interesting in the shot is the width of steel showing either side of the centre section. The images of the bar on the American Amazon site are different from those on the UK site and show all the width adjustments on the ends. Does each padded section on either side of the central pad also rotate to open this gap or is all the width adjustment done with the end sections? It would make sense if it did as it would reduce the end adjustments and allow a fitting that would put the load closer to the door frame. In an 85cm opening a person with a wider elbow to elbow spread would be able to make a forward grip correctly. Remember that the reverse hold on a pull up bar with which Andy used as a demonstration, requires a narrower hold than that required to do a forward hold (as the Amazon guy is doing). I'm with Andy on his fitting. I certainly would not want to see anyone using it on a friction only fitting! Because it can be fitted that way does not mean it should.

@Gosforth Handyman At 6:56 the black plastic piece is for situp bar low locator mounts on your frame my friend, its as if all these companies that ripped off the original design have neglected to understand the full concept of the originals simplicity so they put an extra screw hole in the centre of the bar locator cups for it to make sense. (At least you cant loose it that way if not used but it would be nice if the destructions knew what it was originally for?) Then added a 2nd screw mech to ruin the quick no fuss interchange between the 2 positions. I must be getting old they dont make things like they used to lol. Just out of curiosity did it tell you how much bar clearance you should have from the top, because i made & fitted door stop width infills filled & painted to suite then discovered inversion boots i cant use without lowering the bar & making longer door stop infills. Anoying as f**k but all usefull things they neglect to state. I probably should have just pushed the mount cups to the door stop in a row then marked out 3rd space down both sides with top cup for simplicity? Having to relly on hindsight is not a best fit guide for clearance of knuckles feet & head lol. So they just neglected to bother. This was all years before covid lock down & the Hertfordshire council or local gym removed the 4 pull up bars from the park! When its gone & your locked up inside you truely miss it, like they want us to wither & die or join the gym with no income? As you can tell im not happy about the NWO.

Badly written instructions, I agree, however they are totally usable without screws and damaging the frame. Infact it's using them that tightens them against the door. When you do a pull up, your palm is facing you, and it's turning the rod palm side down. Because the threads on each end are opposite to each other, doing the pull-ups from one side would loosen the ends, but from the other side tightens the ends against the frame. So as long as you face the right way, your pull up is tightening the bar against the frame, easily holding up your weight. The reason the screws are needed when hanging a bag or swing is that they don't turn the rod like your palms do.

I see comments on those cracks in the frame but I don't see the answer, or at least it looks like you said somewhere they are due to that being a new building etc... I actually realized I caused those, by using the bar with no screws hence applying more pressure on the frame. I don't care about aesthetics; my concern is more: are they going to stay as they are, or is there a chance the more I use the bar, the worse they get until everything collapses, including the building next to ours? I just changed door and instantly the same cracks appeared. Thank you

I wouldnt chance it on plaster board with hollow tin track cavity walls, the bar screw mech would bow them out lol.

Relying on the architrave is very risky - sometimes they're only held on by a couple of small nails. Just be careful! 👍

Like you, I usually chuck out the screws that come with stuff. I fitted one of these things a year ago. Didn't take much tightening of the bar to start to push the door casing apart.

Yep, anything like this - step one, ditch included fixings. 😁

Indeed - I wish I'd kept the screws to do a strength test on them! Never mind. 😀

Thanks for the video, BUT I disagree about the need to secure it with screws. I recently bought an identical model from ProsourceFit (it came with no instructions, so I watched your video). I simply held it up in my doorway at the proper height, turned the center part of the bar while holding the end sections until it was nice and snug against the door jambs. It easily holds my 150 lbs. while doing multiple pull ups. If worse comes to worse and it loosens over time and drops me to the ground, I will fall an entire 12 inches. I think I can survive that ;-)

Cheers bud! It's mainly for my daughter - she does a lot of gymnastics stuff and does leg lifts. I tried doing one leg lift but nothing happened. 😂👍
