Sportneer Pull-Up Bar – Doorway Bar Review (No Screws, 200kg) Review UK 2026 — Worth It?

Pull-ups are one of the most effective upper body exercises you can do, but gym membership is expensive and dedicated pull-up rigs take up serious space. The Sportneer doorway pull-up bar solves both problems neatly — it clamps securely to any standard UK door frame without a single screw, and can be removed just as quickly.

Installation is genuinely simple: adjust the bar to your door width, hook it over the frame, and your bodyweight locks it into position during each rep. The 200kg rated load capacity is impressive for a no-drill solution and should cover even the heaviest of lifters adding weights.

The three grip positions — wide overhand, close neutral, and narrow underhand — let you target your back, biceps and shoulders differently from session to session. The foam-padded grips are thick enough to take the edge off long sets, though serious grip trainers will want to add chalk or straps.

For storage it takes seconds to remove and lean against a wall or slide under a bed. The slight trade-off is that repeated use can leave faint marks on softer painted frames, so it's worth placing a thin cloth pad underneath if you're protective of your paintwork.

For the price, this is an exceptional piece of home gym kit. It's earned its place as an Amazon Best Seller and our five-star rating.
