PROPER DOOR MEASUREMENTS WITH PHOTOS for ProSource Multi-Grip Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar, Heavy Duty Doorway Trainer for Home Gym
This ProSource Multi-Grip Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar is NICE!
It appears to be solid...the metal seems to be strong and worthy of handling chin-ups or pull-ups for years to come.
The INSIDE of my doors measure at 34"(inches) long...(doorway measurements)
The OUTSIDE of my doors measure at 38"(inches) long...(molding to molding end)!
About 2 1/2"(inches), On Each Side, Rest On The Doors Molding.
About 1"(inches), On Each Side, (on the outside), Does Not Touch The Molding.
OKAY!...Now this is what I did:
+I inserted a round 5/8th"(inch), 15"(inches) long, piece of wood into the middle long bar before assembling and tightening the screws.
I wanted to give the bar a little more support just in-case the middle bar bends...NOT THAT IT WILL...I'M JUST OVERLY CAUTIONS! lol
You can also use a 15"(inch) long piece of metal that's about 5/8th" round.
+To prevent any damage to the door-molding, I cut a 5"(inch) piece of 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" long of Air Conditioner Weather-Seal and placed them under the parts of the bar that make contact with the door-molding.
THIS WAS A GOOD PURCHASE...
I RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS BAR!
