Pullup bar options aside from door mounted models?

My new workout room has a door frame upon which to mount my current pullup bar, but when it's up there, the door doesn't close and that means I don't have privacy when I work out, so I need to find another option. I googled wall-mounted pullup bars and they look like a big pain to mount.

Does anyone know of any other options? Are there any pullup bars out there that can be either door mounted or wall mounted? Are there any frames I can buy for my wall that would be suitable for mounting a pullup bar? Does anyone have a wall mounted one that works well?

I use my suspension trainer on my pullup bar as well as using it for pullups and chinups, so it would have to be able to take lateral and horizontal strain as well as vertical (this is why a freestanding one doesn't look like a good option either).

Any ideas, suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

My cousin used to mount a bar from the ceiling; it looked like a squared-letter U. Perhaps something like that?

I use a flowbar for assisted pullups but I'm not sure it would fit your needs. But just in case, here's the link:

Thanks everyone!

Bliss, that is a neat little contraption. I think a regular pullup bar is what I need right now since I want to anchor my suspension trainer to it, but that is such an awesome option for traveling. If it were a little cheaper, I'd buy one!
