We compared two no-screw doorway pull-up bars: the BELEEV Pull Up Bar and the Sportneer Pull Up Bar.
What we looked at
Doorway fit range, locking mechanism, stated load capacity, and price. Always re-check the bar is firmly and securely installed before each use, as both listings advise.
The verdict
If you want a bar with an upgraded dual gear lock, a built-in level, and a stated 200kg maximum static load, fitting 76-95cm doorways, the BELEEV is the pick, at £26.99. If you would rather pay £6.00 more for a bar fitting a similar 75-94cm doorway range, the Sportneer is the alternative, at £32.99 — though its own bullets state a 135kg manual maximum load despite the title's "200kg Capacity" claim, so check the listing carefully before buying.
A £26.99 doorway bar with a dual gear lock and a stated 200kg maximum load.
A £32.99 doorway bar whose title and safety bullets disagree on maximum load — read both before buying.
