Question 1

What should I do if landlord trippen about my pull bar?

Accepted Answer

Challenge him to a pull up contest. If he wins, take it down. If you win, he has to buy a month supply of Gorilla Force Protein Powder.

Question 2

does it damage the door frame

Accepted Answer

In a word, Yes.

Firstly, the material that the grips are made out of will stain your doorframe.

Secondly, the bolts on the bar that sits above the door frame are thicker than the padding on that bar, so the bolts will dig into the drywall above your door.

You can work around or fix these things (some people are talking about wrapping it in socks where it meets the doorframe), but there's no reason you should have to rig up a fix for this kind of thing. Just buy a better pull up bar.

Question 3

Will this work in a 36" door frame?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will work.  The door can be no more than 40 inches wide.  In your case, the "grippers" or "bumpers" should overhand the door facing by about 2 inches on each side.  That should be enough to hold you up.  In my opinion, as long as you perform the pull-ups correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about the device slipping or shifting.From my review:  One thing to make sure of: Wall thickness! I have walls in an older home that are about 8 inches thick. This pull-up bar only fits walls that are 7 inches at most. I had to look all over the house for someplace where the wall was thin enough to fit this. I eventually found out my walk-in closet (a recent renovation) was thin enough. Now, I have to wallk back to my bedroom closet to exercise. It's not ideal, but it works. Six to seven inches is the ideal range for wall-thickness here. Also, the doorway needs to be between 24 and 40 inches wide and at least a foot away from any wall or corner, otherwise, your pull-up bar will not fit.

Question 4

Can someone write down the dimensions since I need to know if its too wide for where I plan to have it (Door at the end of a narrow hallway)

Accepted Answer

EASY TO ASSEMBLE & INSTALL – Slip-in design fits standard doorways (24” to 36”).
