Put them in properly and expect them to last forever. Yes I watched the attached video about mounting these on drywall without studs… pleeeeeze don’t ever do that. Not safe at all. Find studs and buy lengths that allow you to connect into them. Also remember that short rails like this 12″ should be vertical, with both ends into the same stud. Some of the others that don’t add up to multiples of 16″ (standard wall stud spacing) can be mounted at a slant, to allow someone sitting in the tub to easily reach it from the sitting position and use the higher part to stand up. With three screws into the stud at each end, these are VERY strong, but probably not strong enough for someone to do chin-ups of course. I doubt anyone who needs rails to stand will be doing chin-ups, however.For me, I put up a 12″ vertically at the entry point, just to hold on while stepping into the tub and to stabilize while reaching for the longer rail at the back, which I put at a slant, as mentioned above. I used torx screws rather than the nickel ones that came with. I feel like these will last the lifetime of this house and will be used by almost anyone taking a bath or a shower, not just the elderly. Well worth the low price, very strong and took just minutes to install with my cordless driver. Absolute asset in the bath. Get them!
A Secure Grab Bar. Pros:Multiple mounting options, clear instructions, comes with necessary hardware for stud mountingCons:No hardware is included for mounting on wallboard.This grab bar is well made and it offers multiple mounting options. It comes with six screws for mounting onto studs; this could be a drawback for those who need to mount on wallboard. You will have to purchase separately the wallboard anchors. You will also need a stud finder and a level for proper vertical or horizontal mounting.The instructions call for a 1/8″ drill bit but I had to use a 9/64″ bit with some silicone lubricant to get the screws to go all the way in with my drill. Do not try to force the screw with your drill as you will run the risk of stripping the head. Take out the screw, re-drill the hole passing the bit in and out a couple of times to enlarge the whole just a little.Be sure to drill all pilot holes before mounting the grab bar. Additionally, you will need an extension for the screw driver attachment on the drill to avoid the drill hitting the grab bar.Installation went smoothly. The grab bar is secure and attractive.
Good holding strength. I’m using four of these in a somewhat unconventional way that nonetheless puts them to the test. As you can see in my attached photo I’ve mounted them vertically on a wall in my basement as retainers for resistance exercise bands. I needed something that could withstand the higher humidity environment of a basement, and up to 150 lbs of pulling force (or more). I needed them to stand off the wall far enough to allow me to easily slip different bands through to adjust resistance. These work perfectly.Since they’re mounted at a wall corner they’re tapped into a pair of corner studs. That gives me high confidence they’re never going to pull off. I wouldn’t try this with sheetrock/plastic mollies.Given my success here, I wouldn’t hesitate to use these in a bathroom setting. They’ve passed all of the critical performance tests. They’re cosmetically appealing, and well made (including no sharp edges). Aces all around.
Great. Great safety bar in shower!
Just what we needed. Met our need and easy to install once I found the studs, old house with lath and plaster confused my electronic stud finder. Looks great, good and sturdy.

Very sturdy. Easy to install, the main thing is to find the stud in the wall
Suggest Stainless Steel Screws 12×2. I liked the handle, but the screws were useless! I would suggest before starting to go to a hardware store and get better screws. I tried the ones that came with the bar and tried screwing into wood. The soft Philips heads would not last using a drill and bit. Made in China! At hardware store I got Weather Max Stainless Steel. Size 12 x 2. I picked mine up at Lowes because location is less that 5 minutes from home. Will submit an order for another one.
Watch Out for Rust Spots. Men did a lousy job of finishing the surfaces on this product. The “stainless” steel brushed finish was loaded with steel/iron residue from the surface finishing operation which has resulted in rust spots that I have had to chemically/mechanically remove twice since I installed it.
Safety Grab bar. Quality grab bar. Great price and delivered quickly!!!
