The great part is that there's no drilling or need for any modifications. It simply grips onto the top wedge of your door. Also, it doesn't damage the door since its padded where it makes contact with the frame. I’ve bought 1 recently and I’m quite happy with it.

I believe it's around 250 lbs. If it's not then your doorway will probably be fine. I own an older home, 19th century home, these pull up bars aren't ideal for door ways with a lot of woodwork. They are pretty good for close grip pull ups and chin ups, but if you can get away with finding another object to use, one with a better option for placement of hands(close and wide grip) Save your money. If there is nothing else, go for it, they do help alot. Perfect pull up makes a pretty good bar, that's more expensive, but offers a little more for pullups then door hangers like golds or iron gym.

If you have concerns, you can see plenty of examples of their use on YouTube. And since they're only 35 dollars or so, it's not too big a deal if you have to abandon it and find something else to do pullups on. I've seen some folks put extra foam rubber between the door trim and the contact points on the bar. Now, if I knew the answer to the "<i>doorway too wide for a pullup bar</i>" problem, I'd be happy!
