Can this bar be mounted on studs above a doorway so there is room for legs to swing forward through the door if needed?

I mounted mine above a doorway, but first bolted it to a 2"x8" so I could center it in the opening and then bolt the board to the studs.

I wanted to accomplish the very same thing when installing the bar. However, the way that doors are framed, the bar would be off-center. The pull up bar would be more or less perpendicular with the door jamb. I thought it would be awkward, so I went ahead and installed it on my garage wall. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was far enough away from the wall for my liking. You could also turn facing away from the mounting hardware to accommodate leg swing. Otherwise, the construction of this product is very solid and I am very happy with my purchase.

Yes a doorway should work fine. You just need to be able to screw it into the frame solidly.

I don't have the same setup as you, however I would guess that it wouldn't be a problem. The mounting brackets are quite narrow and do not extend much if any beyond the screen door frame. Also, the bar/handle sits about a 1.5-2 inches off the door itself.

Possibly - with difficulty - the bar will stick out beyond the edge of the door trim a couple of inches on each side, so you'll need lateral room. Then you'll have to cut the end of the plastic protectors that are attached to the ends of each bar to fit the wall trim, and slide them inwards.

That type of mounting would work as long as there's room for the door to swing completely open it goes beyond 90°

Yes, you can attach it with the friction and pressure caused by twisting and expanding the width of the bar, and if you continually checked that it hadn't loosed up it would likely be safe - if you had it in tight enough. Tighten it too much and it can crack your door frame. I use the screws so I don't have to worry about it. The holes they make aren;t so big, and can be filled with white sealant if you take it down - and would be pretty hard to notice the holes.

no hardware is provided but there are fabric loops. Two options for hanging are suggested, attaching the loops to hangers bolted to the ceiling or attaching them to a rope hung over a beam or tree branch. I suppose it's possible your door gym could work like a beam? Biggest problem I think you will have is you need a two to three foot clearance on both sides

I wouldn't think so. It's a tension bar that needs a solid beam to "push" against. I have it wedged between the floor and a support beam. Good luck!

It needs the doorframe to secure into, perhaps if you had studs on either side it might hold

I have not been able to use this bar, since it does not fit my doorways. An older home has thicker walls, wider door jams/trim.

I am sure you can instal it vertical BUT... If would need to be in a stud if you are using it for a grab bar too.

You can but it takes some adjustments and you should have someone strong to help. You have to unscrew one of the screws a one end and angel the bar to make I fit. I hope this helps you.

Not certain I understand your question. This hardware mounts to the wall screwed into a header or wall studs. Ceiling should not be a factor. Door height determines hardware mounting height.

No. The metal brackets allow you to adjust to the door. Mine stick out an additional half inch or so per side.

Yes, Stud Bar has videos on their website showing large bars wall mounted for those who kip or need more leg room. For dead hang pull ups the standard size wall mounted works best and takes up less space

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.
