This model utilizes standard doorway installation, has padding for all the possible grip positions, and can even be converted for floor use during ab workouts. The bar comes already assembled and stores flat when not in use. Iron Age also includes TRX bands with this bar. We really like that there is a central ring that the TRX bands attach to, as well as the inclusion of angled down wide grips. <\/p>\n<p>One drawback of this model is the small contact points that fit on the back of the door frame. They&#8217;re designed to keep from busting through your drywall, and small contact points allow for easier storage when the bar isn&#8217;t in use. However, they might still damage your trim because there is not a lot of surface area to ensure the bar is secure. That said, this is still our overall favorite, and we found it especially strong, adaptable, and a good fit for most door frames.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>This pull up bar has angled wide grips for a more comfortable pull, and enough space to do type writers.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460286_9690_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460286_9690_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460286_9690_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"pull up bar - this pull up bar has angled wide grips for a more comfortable pull...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">This pull up bar has angled wide grips for a more comfortable pull, and enough space to do type writers.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-dark-subtle mb-3 mt-2\">\n<div class=\"px-3 pt-3 pb-2 w-100\">\n<div class=\"award_left_rating\">\n<div class=\"award_rating\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_rating\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; font-size: 1.5rem;\">Best Bang for Your Buck<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555; font-size: 1.25rem;\">Sagler Doorway<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"px-3 award_table\" style=\"display: table; width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"award_left_col\" style=\"vertical-align:top; text-align:center; \">\n<div class=\"award_logo_left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/best-buy_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Best Buy Award\" title=\"Offers the most bang-for-the-buck\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"z-index:1;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460080_23796_M.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460080_23796_M2.jpg 352w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460080_23796_L2.jpg 705w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" alt=\"pull up bar\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 300 \/ 268;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_col\" style=\"vertical-align:middle; text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"award_logo_right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/best-buy_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Best Buy Award\" title=\"Offers the most bang-for-the-buck\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 14px;\">\n<div class=\"price_button\" data-role=\"none\"><span class=\"seeit\">Check price at Amazon <span class=\"small\" style=\"color:#FFF;\"><i>(on sale!)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Door Depth:<\/strong> 5.5&#8243; &#8211; 7&#8243; | <strong>Door Width:<\/strong> 26.5&#8243; &#8211; 34&#8243;<\/p>\n<div class=\"plusminus_wrap\">\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO BUY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Under 5 minute setup<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Sturdy design<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Comfortable foam grips<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Minimal potential door damage<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO AVOID<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">No foam padding for wide grip pulls<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Sagler Doorway is one of the most affordable models in our test lineup. This low price, paired with uncomplicated instructions, strong construction, and a classic design, leads us to recommend it for those seeking a budget option. Standard door casings will support this bar without issue, and it causes minimal, if any, damage. There are a couple of different choices for your pull up and chin up form with this functional bar, but it remains simple to assemble right out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Sagler lacks padding for wide grip pull ups. This can be a real pain if you live in the heat, but could perhaps be remedied with gloves or extra padding purchased separately. This bar is bulky, which means it will take up a bit more storage real estate in your closet or garage.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The Sagler pull up bar is simple, inexpensive, and stable.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460282_30159_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460282_30159_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460282_30159_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"pull up bar - the sagler pull up bar is simple, inexpensive, and stable.\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">The Sagler pull up bar is simple, inexpensive, and stable.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-dark-subtle mb-3 mt-2\">\n<div class=\"px-3 pt-3 pb-2 w-100\">\n<div class=\"award_left_rating\">\n<div class=\"award_rating\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_rating\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; font-size: 1.5rem;\">Best Semi-Permanent Bar<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555; font-size: 1.25rem;\">Garren Fitness Maximiza Locking<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"px-3 award_table\" style=\"display: table; width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"award_left_col\" style=\"vertical-align:top; text-align:center; \">\n<div class=\"award_logo_left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/top-pick_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Top Pick Award\" title=\"The best for a specific application\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"z-index:1;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/15\/463062_8554_M.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/15\/463062_8554_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/15\/463062_8554_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" alt=\"pull up bar\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 300 \/ 220;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_col\" style=\"vertical-align:middle; text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"award_logo_right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/top-pick_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Top Pick Award\" title=\"The best for a specific application\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 14px;\">\n<div class=\"price_button\" data-role=\"none\"><span class=\"seeit\">Check price at Amazon <span class=\"small\" style=\"color:#FFF;\"><i>(on sale!)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Door Depth:<\/strong> At Least 1.5&#8243; | <strong>Door Width:<\/strong> 26&#8243; &#8211; 39&#8243;<\/p>\n<div class=\"plusminus_wrap\">\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO BUY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Can close door with bar still up<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Sturdy<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Easy to put up and take down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO AVOID<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Not a lot of variability<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Requires putting screws into your doorframe<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Garren Fitness Maximiza Locking is the best option for a semi-permanent bar. If you are looking for a simple bar that you can leave up for extended periods of time without having to worry about interference with a door or walkway, this bar is the best. It is sleek, minimalist, and reliably sturdy. It has comfortable padding for close grip and normal grip chin ups and pull ups, and is easy to take down when you need to. <\/p>\n<p>The biggest downside to the Garren Fitness Maximiza is that you have to put screws in your doorframe in order to use it. However, this is also what makes it so sturdy. There is also a more conservative installation method that only requires one screw for more solid door frames. While testing, we noticed that the rubber suction at the end of the bar detaches from the rest of the bar when taking it down, but this does not seem to affect its functionality. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The Garren Fitness Bar is designed to be an effective tool when you need it, and stay out of the way when you don&#8217;t.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/20\/463518_15351_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/20\/463518_15351_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/34\/20\/463518_15351_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" alt=\"pull up bar - the garren fitness bar is designed to be an effective tool when you...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 467;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">The Garren Fitness Bar is designed to be an effective tool when you need it, and stay out of the way when you don&#8217;t.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-dark-subtle mb-3 mt-2\">\n<div class=\"px-3 pt-3 pb-2 w-100\">\n<div class=\"award_left_rating\">\n<div class=\"award_rating\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_rating\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; font-size: 1.5rem;\">Best Semi-Permanent Bar Without Hardware<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555; font-size: 1.25rem;\">HAKENO Doorway Bar<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"px-3 award_table\" style=\"display: table; width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"award_left_col\" style=\"vertical-align:top; text-align:center; \">\n<div class=\"award_logo_left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/top-pick_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Top Pick Award\" title=\"The best for a specific application\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"z-index:1;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460086_18910_M.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460086_18910_M2.jpg 327w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460086_18910_L2.jpg 655w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" alt=\"pull up bar\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 300 \/ 289;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_col\" style=\"vertical-align:middle; text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"award_logo_right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/images\/top-pick_47x107.png\" width=\"107\" height=\"47\" alt=\"Top Pick Award\" title=\"The best for a specific application\" style=\"width: auto;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Door Depth:<\/strong> At Least 2&#8243; | <strong>Door Width:<\/strong> 27.5&#8243; &#8211; 38&#8243;<\/p>\n<div class=\"plusminus_wrap\">\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO BUY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Can close door with bar still up<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Sturdy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO AVOID<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Not easy to take down and put back up frequently<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">No wide grip foam padding<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Not a lot of variability<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The HAKENO Doorway Bar is a great option for someone who just needs a bar for standard chin ups and pull ups, and they want it to be well-padded.

This bar uses pressure and stable pads to secure it in any doorway without the use of screws. It has removable rubber pads that are great for avoiding damage to your door. It is also slim enough to secure in a doorway and leave it there for extended periods without disturbing the functionality of your door. This bar is also a great option for doors without trim or casing. <\/p>\n<p>However, if you need to remove your bar frequently, this probably isn&#8217;t the model for you. The ANXEN Doorway Bar isn&#8217;t terribly hard to install in the doorway, but it does require an Allen wrench and a few minutes of your time every time it goes up. This bar could also be a problem if the casing on your door isn&#8217;t super solid. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>The Anxen pull up bar has rubber removable pads on each side to help prevent damage to your door frame.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460266_3747_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460266_3747_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460266_3747_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"pull up bar - the anxen pull up bar has rubber removable pads on each side to help...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">The Anxen pull up bar has rubber removable pads on each side to help prevent damage to your door frame.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-dark-subtle mb-3 mt-2\">\n<div class=\"px-3 pt-3 pb-2 w-100\">\n<div class=\"award_left_rating\">\n<div class=\"award_rating\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_rating\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; font-size: 1.5rem;\">Best Bar for a Deep Door Frame<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555; font-size: 1.25rem;\">Stamina Doorway Trainer<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"px-3 award_table\" style=\"display: table; width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"award_left_col\" style=\"vertical-align:top; text-align:center; \">\n<div class=\"award_logo_left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"z-index:1;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460084_20111_M.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460084_20111_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460084_20111_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"300\" height=\"130\" alt=\"pull up bar\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 300 \/ 130;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_col\" style=\"vertical-align:middle; text-align:center;\">\n<div style=\"margin-top: 14px;\">\n<div class=\"price_button\" data-role=\"none\"><span class=\"seeit\">See It<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Door Depth:<\/strong> 7.5&#8243; &#8211; 8&#8243; | <strong>Door Width:<\/strong> 30&#8243; &#8211; 32&#8243;<\/p>\n<div class=\"plusminus_wrap\">\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO BUY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Lots of grip variability<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Stable design<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO AVOID<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Needs an 8 inch deep door frame<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Stamina Doorway Trainer is versatile, sturdy, and fun, with options of rock climbing holds for grip options. It wasn&#8217;t too difficult to assemble, and from the construction, it is clear this bar can bear quite a bit of weight. There is also exceptional padding on the bar, excluding the climbing holds. <\/p>\n<p>This model weighs in at 11 pounds, so it makes sense that it requires a sturdy door. Before you buy the Stamina Doorway Trainer, we recommend you measure the depth of your door and make sure it is eight inches thick. We found that most indoor doorways are about 5 inches thick, and doorways leading outside or to the garage run about 8 inches thick. For you climbers out there, we did not try to change out the climbing holds. Unfortunately, the way the holds are mounted makes it challenging to replace them with a different type of hold. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photonormal\" style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div>\n<div class='fb-photo-caption'>From wide grip pull ups, to front levers, to standard pull ups on rock climbing holds, this bar has it all.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class='fb-photo-credit'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460275_9495_L2.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460275_9495_M2.jpg 415w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460275_9495_L2.jpg 830w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"pull up bar - from wide grip pull ups, to front levers, to standard pull ups on...\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"photo-caption\">From wide grip pull ups, to front levers, to standard pull ups on rock climbing holds, this bar has it all.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-dark-subtle mb-3 mt-2\">\n<div class=\"px-3 pt-3 pb-2 w-100\">\n<div class=\"award_left_rating\">\n<div class=\"award_rating\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t7\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_rating\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #000; font-size: 1.5rem;\">Best Bar for Wide Doors<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555; font-size: 1.25rem;\">Ikon Fitness Ultimate 4-in-1 Doorway<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hrSage\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"px-3 award_table\" style=\"display: table; width:100%;\">\n<div class=\"award_left_col\" style=\"vertical-align:top; text-align:center; \">\n<div class=\"award_logo_left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"z-index:1;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460083_25549_M.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20200%20150'%2F%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460083_25549_M2.jpg 368w, https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/86\/460083_25549_L2.jpg 736w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\" width=\"300\" height=\"257\" alt=\"pull up bar\" class=\"lazy photo-center\" style=\"max-width:100%; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:100%; aspect-ratio: 300 \/ 257;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"award_right_col\" style=\"vertical-align:middle; text-align:center;\">\n<div style=\"margin-top: 14px;\">\n<div class=\"price_button\" data-role=\"none\"><span class=\"seeit\">See It<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Door Depth:<\/strong> 5.5&#8243; &#8211; 8&#8243; | <strong>Door Width:<\/strong> 31&#8243; &#8211; 36.22&#8243;<\/p>\n<div class=\"plusminus_wrap\">\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO BUY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Great for longer arms<\/div>\n<div class=\"iconProText\">Easily storable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plusminus\">\n<div style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\"><strong>REASONS TO AVOID<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"iconConText\">Small contact points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Ikon Fitness Ultimate 4-in-1 Doorway has a fantastic design that&#8217;s ready to go right out of the box.

He spent his younger years playing any sport available, from soccer, to baseball, to gymnastics. It wasn&#8217;t until his early twenties that he started weight lifting heavily, and about eight years ago, all other hobbies dropped to the wayside as Daniel discovered climbing. Since then, his life has been a series of varying upper body workouts and outdoor climbing trips. Needless to say, Daniel knows what to expect out of a pull up bar.<\/p>\n<p>Our process started by researching the available products on the market and selecting seven of the top styles and brands. Once the bars arrived, we decided on a series of tests designed to expose each bar&#8217;s weaknesses and strengths. We tested on four metrics that we found to be most relevant: ease of assembly, ease of use, construction, and size. These four categories form a comprehensive summary of what it is like to use each of these bars. <\/p>\n<div class=\"photonormal\">\n<div id=\"photoab_397018468\" class=\"carousel slide\" style=\"margin-bottom: 100px; padding:0;\">\n<div class=\"carousel-inner\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item active\">\n<div style=\"display:flex; width:100%; justify-content: center;\">            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460272_23598_L2.jpg\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"\" class=\"d-block w-100\" style=\"max-width: 700px; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:466px; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\">            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\">\n<div style=\"display:flex; width:100%; justify-content: center;\">            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460283_28126_L2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460283_28126_S.jpg\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"\" class=\"d-block w-100 lazy\" style=\"max-width: 700px; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:466px; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\">            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\">\n<div style=\"display:flex; width:100%; justify-content: center;\">            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460261_27153_L2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460261_27153_S.jpg\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" alt=\"\" class=\"d-block w-100 lazy\" style=\"max-width: 700px; width:auto; height:auto; max-height:466px; aspect-ratio: 830 \/ 553;\">            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>  <button class=\"carousel-control-prev\" type=\"button\" data-bs-target=\"#photoab_397018468\" data-bs-slide=\"prev\">    <span class=\"carousel-control-prev-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>    <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Previous<\/span>  <\/button>  <button class=\"carousel-control-next\" type=\"button\" data-bs-target=\"#photoab_397018468\" data-bs-slide=\"next\">    <span class=\"carousel-control-next-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>    <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Next<\/span>  <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-indicators\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;  margin-right: 5%;  margin-left: 5%; margin-bottom: -80px; height: 80px\">    <button type=\"button\" data-bs-target=\"#photoab_397018468\" data-bs-slide-to=\"0\" class=\"active\" aria-current=\"true\" aria-label=\"Slide 1\" style=\"border:0; height:100%; width: 80px;\">      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"d-block w-100\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460272_23598_XS.jpg\" alt=\"Button for slide 1\">    <\/button>    <button type=\"button\" data-bs-target=\"#photoab_397018468\" data-bs-slide-to=\"1\" aria-label=\"Slide 2\" style=\"border:0; height:100%; width: 80px;\">      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"d-block w-100\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/88\/460283_28126_XS.jpg\" alt=\"Button for slide 2\">    <\/button>    <button type=\"button\" data-bs-target=\"#photoab_397018468\" data-bs-slide-to=\"2\" aria-label=\"Slide 3\" style=\"border:0; height:100%; width: 80px;\">      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"d-block w-100\" src=\"https:\/\/djd1xqjx2kdnv.cloudfront.net\/photos\/33\/87\/460261_27153_XS.jpg\" alt=\"Button for slide 3\">    <\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Analysis and Test Results<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As we used our developed criteria to evaluate each product, it became increasingly clear that each model has specific advantages and disadvantages.

As doorways come in many different shapes and sizes, so do these bars. It is very important that you measure the depth and width of your door frame and take into account whether or not it has trim.

All seven test models claim to fit a standard door frame, but this was not always the case. Due to some of the features or the way a couple of the bars were constructed, we found that certain door frames were better for certain bars. The <strong>Iron Age Doorway<\/strong> and <strong>Sagler<\/strong> models fit well in a standard door frame, and the <strong>HAKENO Doorway Bar<\/strong>, <strong>ANXEN<\/strong>, <strong>Garren Fitness Maximiza<\/strong> fit in just about any door frame, but require sturdy casing.
