Setup and Installation
Doorway Installation
- Assemble the Bar: Follow the included assembly instructions to connect all components of the Iron Gym Extreme Bar. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
- Check Doorway Compatibility: The bar is designed to fit residential doorways between 24 to 32 inches wide, with trim or molding up to 3.5 inches wide. Verify your doorway dimensions before installation.
- Position the Bar: Place the assembled bar onto the top of your doorway frame. The main horizontal bar should rest on the top trim, with the curved supports extending into the doorway. The padded sections should make contact with the door frame.
- Secure Placement: Ensure the bar is stable and level. The design uses leverage to hold itself in place without permanent fasteners, but it must be correctly seated.
- Test Stability: Before full use, gently apply weight to the bar to confirm it is securely installed and does not shift or slip.

Troubleshooting
