I live in an apartment and the 2 doorways available to me are both recessed in miniature hallways. The hallways are 36" wide. The doors are 30" wide.

Anyone know of a hanging style, doorframe mount pull-up bar with a max length that is less than 36"? All I can seem to find is over 37", unless I want to start screwing mounts into the frame.

    Not sure if this matches what you're looking for but something like this based on the numbers in this description https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-door-gym-workout-bar-6

    Yeah, that's the design I want, but most of them are 37" or more.

    I'm going to have to fall back to screwing mounts into the wall I think. I appreciate the feedback though.

    Do you mean the room/hallway on either side of both doorways are only 36" wide? If so, even the one @VegasFit posted is 36.6".

    I can't use those hanging bars either b/c my old house has pointed molding on all the doorways. I use a doorway bar with mounting brackets. Screwing in brackets is not too bad. It amounts to 6 small holes, 3 on either side of the frame, not too much of a pain to spackle over when you have to.

    You can also throw a towel over a strong door and do pullups on that if you run out of options. I sometimes do this on my bedroom door when I pass by.
