Sportneer doorway pull up bar (no screws) for chin ups, push ups and sit ups, adjustable 75–94cm, up to 200kg capacity
Product description
What it is and why people buy a doorway bar
A doorway pull up bar is one of those home-gym add-ons that can make training feel less like a project. This Sportneer doorway chin up bar is designed to sit in a door frame without screws, so you can set up for chin-ups and pull-up variations, then also use it for movements like push ups and sit ups.
On paper, the pitch is simple: you get a compact way to work your upper body and core using the strength of the doorway frame rather than building a dedicated station. The catch with any no-drill doorway setup is that fit and surface conditions matter a lot, and this kit is no different.
Key takeaways before you commit (fit rules are strict)
This bar is adjustable for door frame widths in the 29.5in–37in (75cm–94cm) range. If your door frame falls outside that window, you should treat it as a hard stop.
It also has several “not suitable” conditions that are worth reading properly because they affect safety and stability. It isn’t intended for glass door frames, carved door frames, or hollow wooden door frames. Installation may also be problematic if the door frame has small cracks, or if there’s foam filling in the wall where the frame sits.
There’s also a detail that’s easy to overlook: the door frame must be wider than the width of the anti-slip pads at both ends of the bar. And the connection between the door frame and each anti-slip pad needs to be a completely horizontal surface, not a curved one.
Getting the most out of it: everyday training ideas
If your priority is quick sessions, this type of bar tends to work well for short bursts. For example, you can start with a few sets of chin-ups or pull-up attempts, then immediately switch to push ups with your hands positioned using the bar. For core work, sit up variations can be done using the bar setup as a convenient anchor.
That “no screws” angle matters in practice too: you’re not committing to drilling, and you can store the bar away when it’s not in use. Still, you should treat setup as part of the workout—before each session, check the horizontal bar is secure and reinstall if needed.
What stands out, and where it can fall short
The clear strength here is its doorway-based design and its adjustable fit for 75cm–94cm door frames, which makes it potentially useful in many UK homes that don’t have space for a full rack.
It’s also positioned as capable on strength grounds, with a stated up to 200kg capacity. That said, it’s not perfect for everyone. If you have a door frame type that matches the “not suitable” list (for example, glass or hollow wooden frames), you may be left looking elsewhere. And if your frame has cracks or soft wall conditions like foam filling, it may not install reliably.
It may also feel limiting if you want a bar for very specific angles or advanced rig setups—doorway bars are usually more about accessible basics than building a full progression system.

Usage tips
The most important habit is inspection. Check that the horizontal bar is secure before each use, and reinstall if anything looks off.
Also, plan around your doorway structure rather than forcing the bar to fit. Make sure the door frame surface where the anti-slip pads contact is horizontal and wide enough to sit properly. If you have a curved surface, small cracks, or foam-filled wall areas, it’s better to skip this approach.
Is it worth it?
This Sportneer doorway pull up bar is a sensible pick if you have a door frame that matches the 75cm–94cm width range and you can provide a solid, horizontal contact surface for the anti-slip pads. It suits people who want a compact home setup for chin-ups/pull-ups and basic push up or sit up work, without drilling.
You should probably avoid it if your door frame is outside the specified width range, if it’s a glass or hollow wooden (or carved) frame, or if there are cracks or foam-filled wall conditions. And if your doorway surfaces aren’t completely horizontal where the pads sit, you may not get the safe, consistent connection the bar relies on.
Mini FAQ
Can I install this on any doorway?
Not necessarily. It’s only intended for door frame widths within 29.5in–37in (75cm–94cm), and it’s not suitable for certain frame types such as glass, carved, or hollow wooden frames.
What should I check before using it?
Check that the horizontal bar is secure before each use. If needed, reinstall it.
Is it really “no screws”?
The design is described as a doorway bar with no screws. However, you still need to ensure it sits correctly and securely on the doorway surfaces.
How do I know it will fit my door frame properly?
Measure the door frame width and confirm it’s within the 75cm–94cm range. Also ensure the door frame is wider than the anti-slip pad width at both ends.
Why mention foam filling and cracks?
Because installation may not be stable or safe when the frame has small cracks or the wall has foam filling. If either applies, it’s better not to use this setup.
