Black Door Pull Up Bar

It needs a solid wooden door frame with an inside width between 72 and 95 cm. It can’t be fitted to a plasterboard opening, because plasterboard isn’t strong enough to hold the tension safely.

No. It’s a tension bar that sits inside the doorway and presses outwards against both sides of the wooden frame. There are no hooks, brackets or screws.

The maximum capacity is 120 kg (265 lb) in total, when fitted correctly. That includes your bodyweight and any added weight, such as a weighted vest or dip belt.

Yes, as long as your bodyweight plus the added weight stays at or under 120 kg in total. For example, an 85 kg user can add up to 35 kg.

Measure the inside width of your door frame. If it’s between 72 and 95 cm and the frame is wood, it will fit. That covers around 99% of standard interior doorways.

It takes seconds. Twist the bar to lengthen it until it’s tight against the frame, then press the quick-release lock. The anti-rotation safety lock stops it turning or loosening. No tools or DIY skills are needed, and you should check it’s tight before every session.

No. There are no screws, so there are no holes. Fitted correctly to a wooden frame, it stays firmly in place without leaving marks or dents, unlike cheaper foam-covered bars.

Yes, if the doorway has a wooden frame. It needs no drilling or fixings and comes out in seconds, so there’s nothing to repair when you move out.

The bar is 32 mm solid steel with no foam, the same diameter as the pull-up bar on Gravity’s Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar and Advanced Portable Pull Up Rack. It gives a firm, direct grip that suits most hand sizes and builds forearm and grip strength.

Yes. If you’re over about 6 ft, you may need to bend your knees at the bottom of each rep, depending on your doorway’s height. The bar itself stays stable.

Pull-ups, chin-ups, dead hangs, hanging knee and leg raises, and core holds. You can also loop a Gravity resistance band over the bar for assisted pull-ups while you build up to your first full rep.

Yes. Start with band-assisted reps using Gravity Resistance Bands or the Pull Up Assist, or get everything in one with the Get Your First Pull-Up Doorway Bundle (£69.95).

Very. It comes down in seconds and is compact enough to store in a cupboard or take with you when travelling or moving home.

Choose the Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar or the Portable Pull Up Rack instead if your doorway has a plasterboard opening, if you and any added weight come to more than 120 kg, or if you want to kip or train muscle-ups. Our Pull-Up Bar Buyer’s Guide compares every option.

The door pull-up bar comes with a 5-year warranty and 60-day returns, backed by Gravity’s in-house customer support team.
