AmazerBath Shower Grab Bars for Bathtubs and Showers, Handicap Grab Bars for Shower Anti Slip, Shower Grab Bars for Senior for Wall Stainless Steel, Holds up to 500LBs, 12" L x 1" D, Brushed Nickel

I recently installed this safety handle for my grandma to use when getting out of the shower, and it's been a fantastic addition. The handle is incredibly sturdy and well-constructed, providing a secure grip for her. Installation was straightforward, and the handle fits perfectly in our bathroom. Since adding it, my grandma feels much safer and more confident when exiting the shower. The peace of mind this safety handle provides is invaluable. Knowing that my grandma has a reliable support to hold onto reduces the risk of slips and falls significantly. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to enhance bathroom safety for their loved ones. It's a simple yet highly effective solution that ensures safety and independence.

I bought this to help my wife navigate the step outside our back door. She uses a cane and steps through the door sideways and needs something to hang onto, and I'm not as stable as I used to be. When this item arrived, I actually thought it was a mistake. The package was so tiny - small enough that I imagined this grab bar being for a playhouse! Turns out it is ideal for our needs. Unlike the brand name grab bars that are welded together to meet ADA standards, you have to assemble the mounting flanges onto this bar before it is installed. The hardware provided is of good quality. The wrench supplied is not hardened tool steel and began to strip when I put full force on it, but the bolts tightened securely. The bar itself is of a small diameter - barely the size of my thumb - and I thought it might be too small to grip tightly, but it fits my wife's smaller hands well and I have no problem getting a firm grip with my big meat hooks - there is enough room between the bar and the mounting surface for my knuckles. Another difference between this and the name brands is that the covers don't snap or screw on over the mounting flanges. They rely on rubber (silicone?) gaskets around the bar to hold them in place (see pix). It is currently 23°F outside here in Michigan and the rubber seems to remain supple enough to stay put after installation. We'll see how it does overnight. Instructions for this item are clear, written in English and quite simple. If you have any experience with tools, you should have no problem with installation with or without the instructions. The tools I used were the aforementioned substandard hex wrench supplied, a cordless drill with a 9/32" drill bit (for pre-drilling the screw holes in our wooden door frame) and a cordless driver with a #2 Phillips bit. It took about 10 minutes and the installed bar is rock solid, functions as it should and looks nice. [You might be able to drive the screws into soft wood like pine without pre-drilling, but I didn't want to risk snapping the heads off the screws as I have done with the included hardware on previous projects.]

Nice small sized grab bar. Nice black finish. Ease to install, easy to use. Comfortable non slip finish.

This was very easy to install. Installed screws provided into the drywall and 2x6 stud behind it. Super solid and feels like it would support a tank. The brushed stainless was perfect and goes with the rest of my hardware in the bathroom.

As described, and well made. Small and unobtrusive, it works very well where I just needed a steadying spot. Helps keep me safe and mobile. Yippee.

The screws supplied are #10 x 1.5” with standard drywall anchors. For stud install my preference is #12 x 2” (with half inch drywall you then have a full 1 1/2” of the screw in the stud) which you can use with these mounting flanges (I use hex head or square head to avoid stripping). Where you don’t have a stud I would use toggle anchors which have 225+ lb ratings. The mounting flange attaches to the grab bar with a bolt, which provides flexibility for placing the mounting flange holes to the stud (you can rotate the flange to preferred hole positions). Caution if planning re stud location that the mounting centers are 18 3/4” (I measured 18 7/8”), not 20”. One of the listing images does show that the 20” is from the outside edges of the grab bar. I like the rubber gaskets on the flange covers. Overall, I like this grab bar and the installation flexibility and would purchase it again.

Bought for my sister's bathroom, and the installation was a snap, very easy, the quality is excellent and once installed looks good, and very strong assembly, she can rely on it and trust it to help her getting out of the shower stall.

This is a really good product, especially for its very affordable price. It is easy to install and extremely sturdy. Highly recommend!
