Review on ๐Ÿšฝ Moen Stainless Steel 24-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar (Model 8724) by Robert Abdi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! for bath and shower rods

Moen's video and written description of their various rods shows that the "SecureMount" installation is included and that it is rated for 500lbs of ADA traction. Not true!. First, it's not included, if you want a "SecureMount" system, you'll have to purchase it at $21.32 per mount, and this system is only rated for 300lbs of pull (non-ADA compliant). Very misleading product description. What actually comes with the support bar are 6.2" Phillips stainless steel wood screws. This installation method requires you to find a wooden stud in drywall. Usually the studs are 16" center or 24" center, in doorways and a short wall, the distance between the studs depends on the carpenter who built your house. This setup system gives you a 500-pound towing capacity and better ADA-compliant setup. This installation is not as easy as the SecureMount shown in the video and written product description and may require professional installation.

Pros
  • Hidden Screw
Cons
  • There are problems
