QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS โšก

  • 1

    Assemble the frame โ€” all 8 bolts

    Crossbar to rails, join the main-bar halves, handles under the center. Hand-tight first, then wrench-snug. Shake test: nothing moves. Full steps โ†“

  • 2

    Check your doorway

    Width 24โ€“32 in ยท jamb depth up to 6.7 in ยท solid top trim that passes a hard 5-second pull-test. No loose molding, ever. Checklist โ†“

  • 3

    Mount it

    Tilt the hook bar through above the door, rest it on the far-side trim, center and level, wall pads flat against the wall. Diagram โ†“

  • 4

    Test before you trust

    Two-handed pull-down test, then a short dead hang with feet ready to catch you โ€” every single time you re-mount the bar.

  • 5

    Train โ€” one person, no swinging, 300 lb max

    Controlled reps only. Grips & form ยท exercises ยท video workouts.

  • 6

    Re-check monthly

    Re-tighten all bolts, inspect foam and trim. Anything off? Stop and text us a photo.

READ EVERY LINE

SAFETY FIRST

300 LBMAXIMUM USER WEIGHT (136 KG)
ONE PERSON ON THE BAR AT A TIME โ€” NEVER TWO

BEFORE EVERY USE

  • Inspect the bar. Check every bolt, nut, and foam pad. Hardware loosens with use โ€” re-tighten monthly at minimum.
  • Inspect the doorway. Trim must be solid, firmly attached, and undamaged. Never use on cracked, loose, or decorative-only molding.
  • Re-seat the bar and confirm the wall pads sit flat against the wall.
  • Pull-down test. Pull down hard with both hands before your feet leave the floor.

DURING USE

  • No swinging, kipping, or dropping. Momentum multiplies the load on your door frame.
  • Load gradually. First session: partial weight, then a short dead hang, then full use.
  • Stop immediately if you hear creaking, feel shifting, or see the trim flex โ€” then text us a photo.
  • Mind your head: keep your chin clear of the top of the door frame.

CHILDREN & HEALTH

  • Not a toy. Under 14 requires adult supervision. Remove the bar from the doorway when not in use if kids are in the home.
  • Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially with shoulder, back, or heart conditions.
Damaged or missing parts? Don't improvise or substitute hardware. Text a photo or email us โ€” replacement parts are fast and free.

ASSEMBLY

๐Ÿ”ง Everything you need is in the hardware pack โ€” hand-tighten every bolt first, then snug with the included wrench once the full frame is together. Bolt pattern: washer โ†’ frame โ†’ washer โ†’ lock nut.
Step 1 โ€” rail-to-crossbar joint
1 ยท CROSSBAR
Step 2 โ€” center coupling short screws
2 ยท MAIN BAR
Step 3 โ€” drop-in T-bolt at rail socket
3 ยท RAILS
Step 4 โ€” wall-bracket plate seated
4 ยท WALL PLATE
1

Bolt the rear crossbar to the side rails

Crossbar across the tops of both rails, thick foam sleeve facing outward, away from the handles โ€” it presses against the wall. Two T-bolts + washers per side, lock nuts finger-tight. Rails must mirror each other.

2

Join the two halves of the main bar

Slide the halves together at the center coupling, line up the holes, drive the two short screws snug with the hex key. The joint must close fully โ€” no gap.

3

Bolt the rails + handle bracket to the main bar

Rail sockets over the bar's mounting plates; neutral-grip handles under the center plate pointing away from the crossbar (toward you when mounted). Remaining four T-bolts in from above, finger-tight.

4

Seat the wall plate, square up, fully tighten

Wall-bracket plate fully seated in the crossbar bracket. Rails mirrored, crossbar parallel, nothing twisted. Wrench-tighten all 8 T-bolts snug + a quarter turn; re-check both short screws.

Final inspection: no joint moves by hand ยท center coupling fully closed ยท crossbar foam faces outward covering the steel ยท handles point away from crossbar ยท no protective film left. If your batch's printed hardware card differs, the card takes precedence.
2 MINUTES THAT PROTECT YOU AND YOUR HOME

IS YOUR DOORWAY RIGHT?

Doorway fit โ€” 24 to 32 inches wide, max 6.7 inch depth

โœ“ USE A DOORWAY THAT HAS

  • Solid top trim on both faces of the wall, screwed or firmly nailed, with โ‰ฅ 0.4 in (10 mm) of overhang.
  • Width 24โ€“32 in โ€” rails clear the opening without forcing.
  • Jamb depth up to 6.7 in (17 cm) so the crossbar lies flat.
  • A solid wood or metal frame, square and firmly attached.
  • Flat wall above the door on the pad side โ€” no shelves, art, thermostats, or switches where pads press.

โœ• NEVER USE ON

  • Loose, cracked, or decorative-only trim โ€” if it flexes under a hand-pull, it fails under body weight.
  • Cased openings with no trim (drywall-wrapped), or trim that is thin or decorative foam.
  • Damaged, rotted, or crumbling frames or plaster.
  • Pocket / sliding / bi-fold doors, metal or hollow frames, tile-brick-glass surrounds, doorways above stairs.
  • Widths outside 24โ€“32 in โ€” never force or extend the frame.
  • Outdoors โ€” indoor use only.
The trim pull-test: hook your fingers over the top trim (far side), pull down and toward you, hard, for 5 seconds. Any flex, creak, or gap = do not use that doorway. Renters: slip a thin cloth between pad and fresh paint, and never store the bar mounted.
NO SCREWS ยท NO DRILLING ยท 30 SECONDS ON AND OFF

INSTALL & TEST

Installing the bar โ€” numbered steps on the actual product wall / door frame top trim (far side) rails hook over the trim main bar โ€” your side foam crossbar lies flat on far wall your weight pulls DOWN โ†’ bar locks TIGHTER
SIDE VIEW โ€” THE HARDER YOU PULL DOWN, THE HARDER THE PADS PRESS INTO THE WALL.
1

Angle it through the doorway

Tilt the unit, pass the rear crossbar through above head height, pull back toward you โ€” rails hook over the far-side top trim, foam crossbar flat on the far wall.

2

Center and level it

Equal distance from each side, main bar level, both rails bearing evenly on the trim, crossbar foam flat on the wall.

3

Pull-down test, then load gradually

Both hands, pull down hard, feet on the floor. Then half your weight for 5 seconds, then a 10-second full hang. Then full use. Every time you re-mount.

To remove: push up slightly, tilt, back it out. Store flat. Re-check hardware monthly.
ONE BAR ยท FOUR TRAINING MODES

USING YOUR BAR

Three grips, one bar: WIDE (angled foam ends โ€” lats & shoulders, wrist-friendly angle) ยท NARROW / UNDERHAND (main bar โ€” chin-ups, biceps) ยท NEUTRAL (center handles, palms facing โ€” easiest on shoulders, best starting variation).
Form basics: thumbs wrapped ยท shoulders down away from ears ยท 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down ยท exhale on the pull ยท off the bar the moment grip starts to fail.
Floor modes โ€” take it out of the door: flip the bar onto the floor for raised push-ups (deeper range, easier wrists), hook your feet under it for anchored sit-ups, or use the frame for bent-knee dips.
Head-room note: your chin meets the top of the frame on a full pull-up in a doorway. Bend your knees behind you or turn your head at the top โ€” it becomes natural after a session or two.
SIX MOVES + YOUR FIRST MONTH

EXERCISE GUIDE

Total upper body workout โ€” wide, neutral, and narrow grips

PULL-UP

BACK ยท LATS ยท GRIP

Overhand, slightly wider than shoulders. Chest to bar, elbows driving down, lower under control.

Can't do one yet? Jump up, lower for 5 slow seconds โ€” negatives build it fast.

CHIN-UP

BICEPS ยท BACK

Underhand, shoulder width. Chin over bar, slow descent. Most people find this one first.

Alternate with pull-ups for balanced strength.

HANGING KNEE RAISE

ABS ยท CORE

Dead hang, knees to chest without swinging, pause, lower slow.

Straighten your legs to double the difficulty.

RAISED PUSH-UP

CHEST ยท TRICEPS

Bar on floor, hands on grips. Neutral wrists, deeper chest range than floor push-ups.

3 sets of clean reps, 90s rest.

BENT-KNEE DIPS

TRICEPS ยท CHEST

Bar on floor as a frame, hands behind you, heels down. Elbows to 90ยฐ, press up.

Hips close to hands โ€” protects shoulders.

ANCHORED SIT-UP

ABS ยท CORE

Feet under the padded bar, roll up one vertebra at a time, exhale at the top.

2โ€“3 ร— 10โ€“15. Quality beats quantity.

CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Wipe grips and pads with a damp cloth; air-dry. No solvents.
  • Store flat, indoors, out of direct sun โ€” UV ages the foam.
  • Re-tighten all 8 bolts monthly.
  • Replace worn foam before it tears through โ€” free under warranty.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Bar wobbles Re-center; confirm both pads flat; re-tighten rail bolts.
Creaking under load Come off. Re-run the trim pull-test; check for a loose bolt.
Marks on wall/trim Thin cloth behind the pads; damp magic eraser wipes marks.
Grip foam spins Normal when new; double-sided tape under the foam stops it.
