A gear tooth lock mechanism extending between the ends of the chin-up bar and each of the pincher members, the lock mechanism moving the pincher members in unison toward each other and causing the chin-up bar to rotate in a first direction and upon rotation of the bar in the opposite direction causes the pincher members to open from each other, permitting removal of the chin-up bar arrangement from the doorway.
