I use this making on my bedroom door frame. I have regular crown molding around the frame of the door and it hold a lot of weight. It held up my who is 180 easy enough. I would say that you wouldn’t want to swing on it or jump up to it since it will fall off if enough momentum is used. I am 5’1 and I found that pull up foam grip area is a little further apart than I would like. I have to grip the metal bar in order to get regular pull up and not have to hold as wide grip apart. It was super easy to assemble and put away in my closet when I’m not using it. I like it since it also has various grips available.

This product works well for what my brother needed it to but it started to wear the threshold of the door out after a while. Has good grip, easy to use.

Note: This review is for the pullup bar alone; the elastic assist pull in my photos is mine and is not included with the bar. The bar was easy to put together -- just a few screws that you adjust based on the size of the doorway. We have it on a pretty standard bathroom doorway and it did just barely fit on the wider setting, but it does fit securely. The hardest issue was getting the metal security hook into the space between the molding and the wall at the top of the doorway -- it took my husband a mallet to get it in securely. It also means that though the bar is super easy to take down (so I can close the bathroom door when not working out) and put back up before I work out -- it really won't be able to be used on other doorways (my kiddo was wanting to use it as well) unless I somehow got another safety piece. I do 100% love the design that allows this bar to sit on the frame and the downward/outward pressure from body weight actually secures it in place and it doesn't require any permanent hardware in the doorframe and isn't dependent on how tight I can expand a bar between the doorway. This one is secure every single time I put it up and the design is so well thought out. I have tested it, and it holds my weight easily and my teens tried it, and it was secure for them as well. I have no issues with it being stable and secure and feel 100% comfortable and confident on it. 100% happy with this purchase!

It is very strong, they provide padding so it doesn’t damage your door and an anchor so it doesn’t fall off, I’ve done many calisthenic exercises and it works perfectly the grip is amazing and it’s easy to setup, use, and take off/put on the door. It can also be used for pushups and sit ups on the ground!
