Review on 🛁 Moen LR8716D3CH Home Care 16-Inch Designer Bathroom Grab Bar with Concealed Screws, Chrome Finish for Enhanced Safety by Curtis Domus

Pros: Easy to install - if you're a builder - even a layman. pilot holes. My 1/8" drill bits are 1 7/8" long. This will give you about 1/2 inch less depth needed for the screw. The screw does not seat with a flat pilot hole. My solution (aside from buying a longer nozzle): Insert the Philips #1 nozzle into the magnetic drive rail. . Then attach it to the drill press. The guide will help you remove the safety bar handle which is blocking some of the mounting holes. (Most electric screwdrivers don't have the torque required to drive a 2-inch wood screw into a stud.) Find a 3-inch, 1-foot-8-inch wood screw that's at least as strong as these screws , and twist it in so that about 1/2 inch remained visible. Remove this screw. You now have a pilot hole deep enough for the attached 2" machine screws. Make all the holes this way after deciding the final pattern (see below). Now screw in the provided screws with the provided washer on each screw. When you have done this: Tighten all 6 screws so that they are 1/2 inch wide. (If you screw a screw all the way in and keep going, I make sure the pilot holes previously drilled are no longer aligned - this way this method helps hold the bracket and its holes together with the other screws). Now screw them all the way in with a power drill (not with a sturdy zipper). The handrail can be installed horizontally or vertically (a handrail longer than 16 inches can be installed at an angle). The handrail is 16" as that is the normal spacing between posts (vertical 2x4s in your wall). Use the spike finder to find the spikes by marking each side of the spikes with a pencil. Depending on the cleat finder, this gives a width of about 2 1/4" but the 2X4 cleat is actually only 1 5/8" wide where you put three screws. When mounted horizontally, the rod must be attached to two studs. This may mean the bar is not exactly where you want it to be because the cleats may not be where you need them. Two screws go from the top of the bar and one from the bottom. Careful selection of screw holes is essential. Horizontal: Choose a side and mark where the screws will go. Then hold the rod and select the positions for the screws on the other end of the rod (another bolt for the horizontal and the same bolt for the vertical). You can use a nail and hammer to mark the starting hole - you don't want the drill bit sliding down the wall. Recommendation: Moen gives you six screws and washers. The Phillips head can be easily rounded in the screw. Moen was supposed to supply two extra screws, but there aren't any. If you're like me, I hate starting and then chasing after new screws. Before you begin, purchase additional tools (2 inch Phillips button head screws). If you round one off before it's seated and you can't pry it out with a Phillips head screwdriver, try using a small vise to pry it out. It is best to avoid round heads, see above. A good product.
