Review on πŸ›€ Stainless Steel Concealed Mount Safety Bath and Shower Grab Bar - Franklin Brass 5616, 1-1/2-Inch x 16-Inch by Melvin Man

Revainrating 4 out of 5

By mounting it to the wall you can be pretty much alone

Although it looks like a solid support I bought it because it was 16 inches tall and I figured I could screw it to the wall with rivets . horizontally as my walls are drywall and don't offer much support no matter how you fix them. Surprisingly, although there are five holes in each mounting flange, they are not vertically aligned with the bolts. Also, the included screws are virtually useless for anything other than plywood. Hole location isn't a big issue, just drill two extra holes in each flange and attach to the studs with heavier bolts. Like I said, this isn't a huge issue, but thought I'd write a review and let people know you'll need a drill and some heavier screws if you want to nail it horizontally.

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Expensive
