Hangboard in a steel framed house

Been climbing for years, finally wanting to get a hangboard. Was looking at the Tension Grindstone. Anyways, my house is steel framed. I have no construction experience, but was wondering if anyone has experience or suggestions for mounting a hangboard in a steel framed home. Specifically, I'm not sure if the steel studs are too flimsy to hangboard off of. Is there any specific beta for drilling into the steel stud?

You’ll be fine. Pre drill through the gypsum board then use metal stud screws to attach the hangboard. 

I'm glad everybody is an engineer here.

Where are you planning on putting it?  Above a door frame on a horizontal lintel is a whole lot different scenario than on vertical studs on a load bearing wall.  (Though the former is far easier to hangboard than the latter.)

Actually I am an architect so…

If it’s a metal stud framed wall it will not matter if it’s a vertical stud or a lintel. 

If it’s a metal stud framed wall the chance that it is a load bearing wall is low as this type of construction typically uses steel columns and beams for structural support. Even if the studs are load bearing you can still use metal stud screws to attach the hangboard without difficulty as the load bearing studs will just be a thicker gauge than a standard non load bearing stud. 

Now if you need to attach the hangboard with 3/8 bolts to a metal stud wall- load bearing or not- then you’ll need to add 3/4 plywood blocking. 

Edited for a confusing typo 

I would use a couple of these

No man the whole house will come down I’m telling you! Steel is not strong don’t do it!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I plan to hang it above the door frame.

You’ll be fine!  Unless you screw up then you’re gonna die!  ;)

Just avoid weighted front lever hangs until your sure you hit more than drywall. For at least a couple sessions.

Steel studs are bomber as long as you use the right screws.
