Welcome To SoloStrength Assembly Tips & Support

There may be helpful/important updates to the print instructions you receive with your system (it's unusual but in event there is misprint or labelling correction), and you can find the notes in RED in each product installation reference section below.

The ULTIMATE Systems are component based. All options include the Doorway Gym main upright and hardware. This means you will have extra hardware included in your main upright system assembly, if you ordered any of the other options (for example freestanding which includes the base additionally). Reference to this is stated in the assembly instructions manual and you may wish to hold and store the hardware for future time should you with to convert your assembly to one of the other options.

Check the "Before you begin" section right before selecting your product selections notes and videos for updates.

SoloStrength products are designed to be easy to assemble for people of all skill sets.  However if you are more comfortable hiring a service for assistance, the instructions and assembly videos below can be used to support anyone handy to complete your assembly. 

If you do not want to assemble yourself:

There are also assembly services you can find quite easily by searching "handyman" or "furniture or fitness equipment assembly" for regional services in your area. 

Google search for most local services for:

• General "handyperson" services

• Furniture building services

• Home Gym Equipment assembly services

Almost all assembly questions are the result of overlooking notes or tips along the way in assembly guide. If you encounter any difficulties, please reference the print materials and updates in the appropriate product sections below, and video for reference.

In some cases, we've noticed that during shipping the main SoloStrength bar slider screws can loosen and we suggest to check and "snug" tighten these 6 screws (3 on left and right) on side sliders of main SoloStrength bar per diagram attached.

Make sure pulling back the orange flanges, the locking pins easily pull back and retract fully with the spring loaded force. The safety lines will show when the pins are released displaying the green safety line next to the flange towards inner section of bar, indicating the pins are secure and it's safe to apply weight to the bar.

Be assured that your SoloStrength^® system, once properly installed, will run very smoothly and secure safely in each height for use.

Anomalies in building doors and walls, may require some fine-tuning and adjustments to achieve desired results but the process is shortcut below in tips for each install.

We guarantee your system will work 100% smoothly and support you to resolve any challenges you may have.

The SoloStrength System is extremely safe to use when the simple operation guidance is followed.

1. Only apply weight to the bar when the orange flanges are released fully, exposing the green line indicators next to the flange (inner side of bar) showing the pins safely in place.

2. As with any safety item, it's good practice to apply some quick pressure to the bar in an "up down" movement to test the bar is secure and locked in, as well as visual cues for the safety lines.  This becomes a basic and simple habit when using SoloStrength quickly once learned.

• Specifications can be be found on product page here.

• Tip: Build one item at a time to not confuse parts/components

• Do you have 3" or more ceiling height over the finished height of your system? (Yes? Follow standard assembly instructions below).  If no, BUT you have the minimum required 2" over finished height (ie. 88" for shorter system and 92" for standard system), then you will need to follow a slightly modified assembly approach. This requires the final step of connecting the upright to the base, with the base tipped forward, connecting the uprights, then pulling the system back upwards which reduces the total ceiling height requirements to assemble your system to only +2" over the finished height.

It will be helpful to please watch video through and read instructions before starting. Most assembly questions come from overlooking the notes and details offered through instructions.

SPECIAL NOTES:

• Please check freestanding base items parts # 19 and #20.  There have been a few instances where labelling on parts was incorrect. For easy reference, there are 3 slats that connect the side tubes.  2 are longer (those should be labelled #19), and the shorter one (part #20) fits in the center middle section. If the part# labels is incorrect, please reference the shorter of the 3 slats as part #20, and the other 2 longer ones as #19 to avoid confusion.

• Page 3 on Freestanding base assembly updated instructions above, has a helpful notes that are not included in print documents please view here.

• Video does not show optional extra support board for base (showing on print and pdf instructions)

• Step 1 is the building the main upright, first add the upper extrusions (parts 5C and 5D) to the header, then add the cover to header for easiest build. If you are adding the height extension is fits directly below the header.

• Build the Main system upright first and set aside.

• There will be extra parts from the Main system construction (the Main system comes with doorway mount hardware  needed for wall/corner mounting also included).

• Securing base to floor. This option is available for those wanting to secure the Freestanding system to the floor (more commonly used in commercial applications), and is accomplished by using appropriate mounting screws/washer sizes for floor surface, fit through the 4 hidden mounting holes on corners of side tubes.

• IF INSTALLING BY YOURSELF: It can be helpful on the final step when fitting the uprights over the base connection plates, to have a second set of hands to help guide the uprights into place. However if you are assembling this stage on your own, it can improve the ease of mounting the upright if you set the support bar about 3/4 way to top header to hold onto and lift the top section over the base connection sleeves more easily. 

• *Applying the LUBE: Once the bar is installed into the channel, you should be able to run it up to around 3/4 height of system in order to lift upright and place it for assembly. Once frame is secure on base add a small amount (several drops inside channel on each corner on top of black sliders) is needed and helps to eliminate any resistance of bar movement or stick from not lifting the bar level through the channels. If alignment is off on mounting at all, you may need to refine the alignment slightly. It is recommended to apply 3-5 drops of the lubrication provided into each corner with the bar just below midway section, and run the bar up through the section and back down a dozen times.  If it feels like any resistance at all, you can set the bar about 1/4 height and add drops on top of black slider corners there and run it up and down again. Same with it at 3/4 Height. This will ensure the channel is well lubricated for smoothest operation.

• When installed and aligned correctly, the SoloStrength main bar will run very smoothly and cleanly lock into place in each height. If there is any resistance due to misalignment,  It may require slightly loosening the screws to ensure alignment is square and properly balanced and aligned before tightening again. 

  
  

• Important: When setting the bar height before applying weight to the bar, quickly check for the green safety line on bar next to the orange pull flange, indicating the pin is released and locked into place, secure and safe. It is good practice to quickly apply an "up down" pressure on the bar with your hand to test as well. Only put weight on the bar when the pins are securely locked in place.

It will be helpful to please watch video through and read instructions before starting. Most assembly questions come from overlooking the notes and details offered through instructions.

If you have a wider (30-36") door frame and a tighter corner wall section next to doorway (3-5") you can select the 3 shorter mounting brackets (part #14). You can adjust the centering of the system around the doorframe as needed to fit if tight space.

Steps:

1. Begin with first connecting one of the middle brackets to the door frame, with the screws provided. Install single screw into bracket to allow for refinement in alignment as squaring the fit to the remaining brackets. An electric drill is suggested for best results and use strong pressure. 

2. Once one of the brackets is installed, tighten the nut that connects the doorway bracket to the ULTIMATE system. Following this, fit the rest of the doorway connection brackets to the frame, best as possible. They may need slight adjustments before mounting them to the frame and tightening the bolts. 

3. Before connecting the second MIDDLE bracket to the door frame, gently pull in the flanges releasing the pins on the slider bar assembly, and run the bar up and down the height of the system several times to ensure its operating smoothly and spacing the system out to correct level. After it’s smoothly running up and down the system, lock the bar around center height of the frame, to assist in the correct spacing for the bracket. Use the screws to mount the second middle height bracket now and tighten a bit more, the acorn nut on this second side. 

4. Run the bar up and down the height of the system again several times to help find the correct spacing and adjustments for your specific door frame. Once this is complete, raise the bar to the top level, and lock it in place. Mount one of the brackets with the screws to the door frame, and tighten the connection. AFTER this is completed run the bar the height again, make sure the bar is locking into place at various heights smoothly, and without having to adjust the FRAME at all, but this is the time to make those adjustments if needed. – Once you are happy with how the bar is locking into place, leave the bar locked in the upper locations, and secure the second bracket. 

5. Slide the bar again the full height several times checking the ease of sliding, and proper locking of the pins at all holes (the line around the bar will show inside the pull flange when it’s fully locked into place securely). Focus now on the lower level connections now ensuring smooth function and proper locking into place. 

6. After all mounts have been secured, ensure all doorway to frame connection bolts are tightened fully.

7. Once all screws are in place, check sliding of the Support Bar from top to bottom. Apply enough lubrication to ensure the slider is running perfectly smoothly. 

Finishing:

• Although not required for main SpeedFit Workout Programs, securing the wall mounts to Ledger Board Bracing and wall studs will maximize strength and ability to withstand greater lateral forces if desired (for use with bands, TRX etc).

• If choosing to use ledger boards in the form of wood slats, suggested sizes 1/2-1" thick and 4' x80" (or larger as desired/needed to secure studs) x2 boards, secured to wall studs then attaching mounting brackets to these.

For Maximum Secure Install:

• Although not required for main SpeedFit Workout Programs, securing the wall mounts to Ledger Board Bracing and wall studs will maximize strength and ability to withstand greater lateral forces if desired (for use with bands, TRX etc).

• If intentions are to use for SpeedFit Training suggestions only, primarily vertical forces, and lighter lateral (outward) forces, you can secure with anchor bolts/drywall plugs safely, ideally with one section connecting into stud as fitted in your space. The Ledger Board option offers most flexibility on location with maximum secure install.

• If choosing to use ledger boards in the form of wood slats, suggested sizes 1/2-1" thick and 4' x44" (or larger as desired) x3 boards, secured to wall studs then attaching mounting brackets to these.

Steps:

1. Follow the steps to notice completion point for main assembly, then switch to wall mount kit. Add the wall mount installation arms onto the mounting brackets and tighten them firmly before marking wall to secure the screws.

2. Start with the middle height brackets and lightly tighten the screws – ensuring the system is properly spaced before tightening the second side. You do this by running the slider bar up and down the height of the system before securing to wall. 

3. Next space the system again by running the bar up and down and doing the right side upper section and then right side lower section before doing the left side upper and lower wall mounts. 

4. Keeping in mind the 6 anchor points, the system is well braced with drywall or concrete anchors provided, for suggested use. If you are anticipating extremely heavy lateral forces and want to make sure your system is secured to studs, you can secure the 6 anchor points to a sheet of plywood (Dimensions: 48” x 76”) and then securing that to the studs where they are located behind it. This also gives you a roughly 30” wide space for securing a mirror too if desired. 

5. The Ledger board options work equally well with 3 boards in dimensions in notes above.
