The drilling template can be placed directly onto the wall and allows you to drill straight through the marked screw holes. It is intended for use on brick and concrete walls only. For drywall installations, drilling must be done precisely into the center of the studs, so the template should not be used.

Safety Notice

FITFRAME products must be installed strictly according to the provided instructions and only on suitable load-bearing walls. This guide does not replace professional assessment. You are responsible for verifying wall suitability, mounting method, and load capacity. Improper installation may result in damage or injury. When in doubt, consult a qualified professional installer.

Approved wall types

• Drywall with wooden studs

Do NOT install the product if:

• The wall is non-load-bearing
• The wall contains metal studs
• The brackets are mounted only into drywall

Required Materials

Included

• 1× Pull-up bar
• 6× Lag bolts M10 × 80 mm (3/8” × 3”)
• 6× Washers M10 (3/8”)
• 1× Hex key: 3 mm

Excluded

• 1× Cordless drill or impact driver (recommended)
• 1× Wood drill bit: 6 mm (15/64”)
• 1× Hex bit socket: 17 mm (9/16”)
• 1× Stud finder (optional, but recommended)
• 1× Spirit level
• 1× Tape measure
• 1× Tape
• 1× Pencil

Installation Steps

Step 1 – Locate the studs

• Choose the desired mounting location
• Avoid areas near power outlets, light switches, or visible plumbing

The brackets (the two sides of the Pull-Up Bar that are mounted on the wall) must always be mounted directly into wooden studs. Studs are vertical wooden beams behind the drywall. They are usually spaced 40 cm (16”) or 60 cm (24”) apart.

How to find studs:

• Knock on the wall (solid sound = stud)

Select the two studs where the brackets will be mounted.

Step 2 – Find the center of the studs

The brackets must always be mounted in the center of each stud. Ways to find the middle of the stud:

• Stud finder test (recommended): A stud finder uses sensors to detect changes in density as it moves across the wall, beeping or lighting up over a stud.
• Nail test: In an inconspicuous spot (e.g. just above the baseboard), push a thin nail through the drywall.
    If the nail stops quickly → stud found.
    If it goes straight through → no stud.

Mark the stud edges, then mark the center halfway between them.

Step 3 – Determine the height

• If you plan to cover the Pull-Up Bar with the Frame, mark a point at the center of each stud at 200 cm (78”) from the floor. At this height, the Frame will hang approximately at eye level.
• If you don’t plan to cover the Pull-Up Bar with the Frame, you can choose your own preferred height.

Also check the following:

• If you plan to use the highest position (118°) for pull-ups, ensure there is 60-70 cm (24-28”) of clearance between the markings and the ceiling.
• Make sure you can hang from the bar with fully extended arms without bending your legs.

If either condition is not met, raise or lower the marking slightly. Note that changing the marking will also change the height of the Frame.

Step 4 – Mark the pilot holes

For each stud, mark three drilling
points vertically aligned below the markings:

• 50 mm below the marking
• 150 mm below the marking
• 450 mm below the marking

These six points define the exact bracket mounting positions.

Step 5 – Final check

Before drilling, confirm that:

• All marks align exactly with the holes of the brackets
• All marks are centered on the stud
• All marks are vertically and horizontally level
• Use a stud finder to confirm no electrical wires or pipes are present behind the drilling locations

Step 6 – Drill the pilot holes

Drilling tips:

• Disable the hammer function
• Use tape on the drill bit as a depth indicator
• Drill straight and increase speed gradually
• Move the drill in and out to clear debris

Drilling steps:

• Drill pilot holes at all six marked positions
• Drill to a depth of 80 mm (3”) using the 6 mm (15/64”) wood drill bit

After drilling:

• Remove dust and debris from the pilot holes (blow or vacuum)

Step 7 – Mount the brackets

• Place the brackets against the wall
• Insert the lag bolts with washers through the bracket holes into the pilot holes
• Tighten the lag bolts firmly using the 17 mm (9/16”) hex bit socket
• Do not overtighten

Tip: This step is easiest with two people.

Step 8 – Install the bar

• Insert the bar into the bracket arms
• Center the bar
• Tighten the built-in bolts firmly using the hex key
• The bar should no longer rotate.

Safety Notice

FITFRAME products must be installed strictly according to the provided instructions and only on suitable load-bearing walls. This guide does not replace professional assessment. You are responsible for verifying wall suitability, mounting method, and load capacity. Improper installation may result in damage or injury. When in doubt, consult a qualified professional installer.

Approved wall types:

Brick walls

• Solid brick
• Solid sand-lime brick
• Sand-lime hollow block

Installation Steps

Step 1 – Choose the installation location

• Choose the desired mounting location
• Avoid areas near power outlets, light switches, or visible plumbing

Step 2 – Determine the height

• If you plan to cover the Pull-Up Bar with the Frame, mark a point at 200 cm (78”) from the floor where you want the middle of the top profile of the Frame to hang. At this height, the Frame will hang approximately at eye level.
• If you don’t plan to cover the Pull-Up Bar with the Frame, you can choose your own preferred height.

Also check the following:

• If you plan to use the highest position (118°), ensure there is 60-70 cm (24-28”) of clearance between the marking and the ceiling
• Make sure you can hang from the bar with fully extended arms without bending your legs

If either condition is not met, raise or lower the marking slightly. Note that changing the marking will also change the height of the Frame.

Step 3 – Apply the drilling template

• Take the FITFRAME drilling template
• Tape it to the wall with the arrow exactly at the marking
• Choose your preferred bracket spacing:
     Black holes → 40 cm (16”)
     White holes → 60 cm (24”)

Step 4 – Final check

Before drilling, confirm that:

• The template is horizontally level
• The template is vertically level
• Use a stud finder to confirm no electrical wires or pipes are present behind the drilling locations
• For outdoor brick walls: prevent drilling in mortar joints

Step 5 – Drill the holes

Drilling tips:

• Enable the hammer function
• Use tape on the drill bit as a depth indicator
• Drill straight and increase speed gradually
• Move the drill in and out to clear debris

Drilling steps:

• Drill directly through the 6 marked holes (black or white) in the drilling template
• Pre-drill to a depth of 100 mm (4”) using the 5 mm (3/16”) drill bit
• Drill to a depth of 100 mm (4”) using the 10 mm (3/8”) drill bit

For sand-lime hollow block brick walls:

• You may feel the drill suddenly move forward when entering a hollow section. This is normal; continue drilling carefully to 100 mm (4”) total depth

After drilling:

• Remove the template
• Remove dust and debris from the holes (blow or vacuum)
• Insert the Fischer DuoPower 10 × 80 mm plugs into the holes
• Tap gently with a hammer until the plugs are flush with the wall surface

Step 6 – Mount the brackets

• Place the brackets against the wall
• Insert the lag bolts with washers through the bracket holes into the wall plugs
• Tighten firmly using the 13 mm (1/2”) hex socket bit
• Disable the hammer function during tightening
• Do not overtighten

Tip: This step is easiest with two people.

Step 7 – Install the bar

• Insert the bar into the bracket arms
• Center the bar
• Tighten the built-in bolts firmly using the hex key
• The bar should no longer rotate
