YY Vertical VerticalBase offers a drill-free, highly stable way to mount a hangboard on a door frame, with two usable sides and easy height adjustment. The support is a climbing hangboard mounting system designed for quick indoor training sessions like pull-ups, dead hangs, and structured routines. Tool-free setup takes about 30–60 seconds, making it simple to install and remove between workouts. With its secure clamping and grippy contact points, it helps keep the support steady while protecting the door frame.

The YY Vertical VerticalBase is a very specific product designed for a particular type of user. It requires perfectly flat surfaces on both sides of the locking mechanism to stay securely in place via friction. It took me nearly an hour of adjusting before I found a spot on the doorframe where the mount held firm enough for me to feel safe doing pull-ups.
If your doorframes taper by even a few millimeters, or if the surfaces aren't perfectly straight, the VerticalBase can start to slip. The mounting surfaces also need to be clean to ensure sufficient friction and a secure hold.
The price is another significant downside, as the package includes only the mounting mechanism—the hangboard must be purchased separately. For these reasons, I find it difficult to recommend this product to most people. However, I eventually got the mount working for my own needs, and I am relatively satisfied with it.
Pros
- No drilling required.
- Easy to install if the doorframe is perfectly straight and flat.
- Allows for the mounting of two hangboards or other training holds.
- Adjustable height.
Cons
- High price (€289 for the mount alone; hangboard not included).
- Requires a sturdy, flat doorframe. While compatibility is broad, weak or unusually shaped frames may not be suitable for safe use.
- Not as rigid or stable as a permanent wall-mounted setup.
Summary:
If you cannot or do not wish to drill into your walls and have a suitable doorframe at home, the VerticalBase can be a viable solution. However, its high price and strict installation requirements limit its suitability for many users.
