Moen Home Care Bathroom Safety 12 Inch Stainless Steel Handicap Grab Bar for Bathtub and Shower, Elderly Assistance Product with Concealed Screws, 8912

Easy to install. Very sturdy. Of course, if it ends up going in a stud, it's going nowhere. Looks nice, very subtle and doesn't stand out.

Moen SS safety bar. Moen may be the only company that welds the mounting plate on to the bar. It’s a full 100% weld. Please take note when you’re purchasing a safety bar and you’ll see the difference and note the added strength and quality. Highly recommended.

Strong, functional. Like the concealed mounting screws.

Pros: Multiple mounting options, clear instructions, comes with necessary hardware for stud mounting Cons: 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.

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.

I only gave this a 4 instead of a 5 because I had a hard time lining it up so that the machine screws on the hancle flange would line up properly with the mount. I used the template, but when drilling tile the bit has a tendency to walk. IT would be nice if there was some say to accommodate a slight error in alignment. The size I chose was the ame as my stud spacing so I was able to only drill a single hole in the wall and used a long screw through the center hole in the mounting plate into the stud to mount it, It is very strong and stable.

It doesn’t look tacky or out of place when installed. It is a blessing for me!

You can always count on Moen stuff to be of good quality.

I am sure the grab bar would be effective, but it looked too chunky to fit our bathroom. Hence I returned it.

This Moen grab bar felt surprisingly lightweight when initially removed from the factory packaging. Additionally, it only came supplied with a number of narrow 2" wood screws intended for attachment to wooden wall joists. I chose to go down a different path by buying a package of 1 1/2" #8 screws and anchors which I used to secure the handle onto my bathroom wall at both the top and bottom ends. There are 3 round screw holes (you will need larger screws than those supplied to use in these holes) in the round base plate at each end of the handle., Additionally, there are numerous channels on these two base plates which can also be used for extra screws once holes for the plastic anchors have been drilled. Once attached to the drywall - I used 6 screws at the top and 3 at the bottom - the grab bar was very firmly screwed into the wall. And once attached, I must say the lightweight handle feels much more substantial. And it looks good too beside my brushed aluminium grey towel racks! A nice addition to the bathroom. Adds to the safety factor as well.
