Somehow the instruction paper on how to install my chin up bar is missing. Do you have any link to how you install it?

Hello Lisa,

The chin up bar can not be mounted directly on the wall. As you will need the support in order to do the workout with the bar.

The chin up bar ,while may be sturdy, will do damage to your doorway trim. I suggest using alternative if you have beautiful trim work or just don’t want to damage your trim. The damage can be lessened by placing a washcloth, sock, etc. against the doorway trim while putting up the bar. If I had to do this again, I would never have allowed my husband to purchase the bar. Also as far as installing goes the enclosed instructions are completely inadequate. The brackets need to rest directly on the door frame or they will bend. Also, do not use the measurement guide on the instructions, the 13.75 inches between brackets is totally wrong. You need two people to install. One person should hold brackets above doorway and the other should place bar on and then line it up with the outside trim. The brackets should be on the inside of the veritcal attachment bars. Mark the holes of the brackets with a pencil and then remove bar and brackets and begin drilling. Installation is relatively simple from there.

[...] with it spell out the directions and the bar really only takes minutes before it is ready for use. Check out this blog post about installing the bar if you need some additional help. Unlike tension bars, the P90X pullup bar is sturdy and safe. You [...]

Hi, I’ve just finished the assmebly of the bar and i also installed the brackets on top of the frame but I installed it on top of cabinet doors which is about 1.5m wide on the opening and I just realized that my wall isn’t made of wood but plaster, do you think it will hold my weight? thanks

Hello, my trim is 0.4 inch. Will this be enough to hold the bar from sliding down the molding?

Also, my molding is quite thick, around 4.5 inch. Is this still ok?

So i I had the same problem with the nuts and screws. Sure the wrench on the bolt and screw driver on the screw works but with a lot of strength and pressure needed. It definitely was NOT an easy installation.

Can I mount the chin-up bar directly onto the wall instead of using the door? Thanks

I received my chin-up bar, but it did not complete with all the screws. The guide does not indicate the size of the screws so I am having a hard time finding what I need at a local hardware store. Can you please send me the sizes of all the screws required and how many are required? I cannot use the chin-up bar until I have it properly assembled.

Thank you
