Amazon.com Product Description
Don't be limited by wide doorways when installing your Creative Fitness door gym. Instead, turn to this pair of extension bars, which let you use your door gym on door openings from 32 to 45 inches wide. The extensions are easy to install: simply remove the existing end plugs and foam from the door gym, then slide the extensions on. Once they're installed, you can twist and lock the extensions into the desired position within your doorway.

Cheap, DIY alternative that actually WORKS!! June 21, 2008

I was really excited to get the door gym, but when I first put it up I noticed that my door frame was just slightly too wide. If the door gym was about an inch or two longer on either side I would have been set. So I purchased these extension bars and, guess what, the previous reviews are right - these extension bars are worthless. I junked them and instead made my own extension bars that have worked out GREAT! I purchased two 1/2" by 12" steel tubes from my local hardware store (plumbing section) and slid them into each end after removing the end caps. They slide in perfectly and stop when they hit a set of screws. To tighten the fit and to make them just a little bit longer, I used electrical tape and taped three nickels to each end and slid them again again (nickel side first). Perfect! Then I just put the end caps on the the exposed threaded end of the steel tube (the end caps go OVER the steel tube) and slid the piece of foam back over the exposed steel. You would never even be able to tell that these were extended!
The bottom line is that if you door is too wide for the door gym (which again is an AWESOME product), don't stress, but also don't buy these. 1/2" steel tubing works great, can be had for under five bucks and can be as long or as short as you need them to be.

I bought the Creative Fitness Door gym because it was the only pullup bar that would fit a large door frame -- with the addition of these extender bars.
However, the extenders secure to the main bar by a thread (LITERALLY) inside and you are supposed to twist them until the thread weaves and tightens around the bar. As you can guess, BOTH the threads broke on the bars after I bought them.
While the CF Door Gym is a good product, don't buy it if your door is bigger than the recommended width and you are planning to use these extenders.

If you need these extensions, the door gym is probably not going to work with your door. I used it for a few weeks then it broke. Not recommended.
