How to Install a Doorway Pull-Up Bar With No Molding

Many pull-up bars install by hanging them from the casement molding on a door. This allows you to use the pull-up bar without your body hitting the wall while exercising. However, if you do not have doorways with molding where you can install a doorway pull-up bar, you can use a wall-mounted pull-up bar and hang it above the doorway without the molding. This allows you to take advantage of having an open space to work out without fear of running into the wall.
