Looking to get a door pull up bar... useful for nipper (and occasional use by me). Any recommendations?

We have regular size internal doors with brick walls. So no danger of ripping thru plasterboard. I did think of standalone pull up bars that I could put in the garage, but i recoganise we hardly go into the garage during the winter. If i have something that can be easily assembled inside the house, it will be used. Thats what has happened with the bike.

I've got one of the standard ones that hooks over the door frame and works a treat. I'm not that heavy though (no offence!) so not sure how it carries a guy's weight.

It is a great exercise. I hadn't done any for ages and last week did 10 pull and 10 chin ups and was so sore for days afterwards! I do some with a bit of assistance on the way up (nudge up on a stool for momentum) and really slow down the lowering/eccentric movement.
