I have a bench stall and asking here I've been encouraged to move by chin-up accessories from workout days to "grease the groove" method doing half of my maxed tested reps, several times a day on off days at least 45min apart. So I bought this for the office so I can hit chins every hour on off days. This one fits the 38" door frame - the first one I bought was too narrow.

I used a doorway pull up bar for a while and it was fine but keep in mind it's almost certainly going to leave some marks on your door frame. Also, you don't want to do any crossfit style kipping pull ups or inverted hanging that might cause it to dislodge.

Its no longer sold but the trapeze rigging portable pullup bar is fantastic for putting up in 1 minute for workouts anywhere

Doing chin-ups off the woodwork? Nope.

I get it guys I really do. Office just can't fit a chin-up/dip station right now. FWIW the door frame is commercial and all metal, it's not going anywhere. The cheapness of the actual pullup bar is the only thing that's flexing, it forces me to go slow enough to not bounce which isn't terrible - I get to work on form! Slow chins are better then no chins.
I was looking to put a stand-alone beside this adjustable height treadmill desk we share but didn't have the room. If other people ask to do chins we will have to figure something else out as I don't want to be responsible for anyone else on the amazon bar - that's for sure.

If you want to upgrade, the Rogue Jammer Bar is what I'd look at but not sure you can install something like that at your office.

That Jammer looks perfect.
I will ask the landlord.
I'm using this one still today - every 45 mins or so I do some chins. I've gotten used to it...“For new tricks you have to disconnect your brain, to forget that you can fall, and that is the hardest work. Just do it! Don’t care what people think. If you want, you can!” - Sarah Lezito
