Moen 8718 Home 18-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Stainless

Nice finish and solidly built. Was able to install and get the screws into the wall studs. Had bought the install anchors but returned them as we live in a double wide and there was less than 4” interior wall gap/space so they wouldn’t work.

I bought this for my dad after he stayed at a senior living for Physical and Occupational Therapy. I noticed each restrooms had 2 bars positioned by each toilet and I wanted to do the same. I got the 36 inch bar to accommodate the 16 inch space in between each wall stud and it fit perfectly... Only thing, I could only use 2 screws on each side, due to the 2 inch stud. If the stud was 4 inches, I would of been able to use all 8 screws. I tried pulling on it, and it feels pretty sturdy, so Ill just leave it as is. And with the cover plate on, you cant tell that I only used 2 screws on each side. Would definitely buy more if I need and its much cheaper buying it here on Amazon, compared to our local big box stores.

The installation was easy and we are very pleased with its strength.

I have installed four of these in two bathrooms. They definitely add a measure of security, especially for older people. Installation for me was quite simple because I have the experience and tools for this type of project. Less equipped and experienced individuals, not the hands-on type, might need some help, expecially if installing over tile, but most any craftsman friend should be able to handle this for those who have such. I like the 1-1/2 bar size. The bar is not knurled. It is smooth finished, but for me, quite adequate. I did not use the furnished screws because there is no need for rounded-head screws that will be covered, and the tiny phillips sockets on those furnished wouldnt handle much pressure without stripping. However, hex-head screws or screws requiring square or star drivers will all work in the heads are large enough. Those furnished are 2 long. I used some 2 and some 2-1/2, depending upon the thikness of the tile or the other type wall material. I suggest having a stud finder, a drill with assorted bits, for me, a hammer drill and concrete bits, a level and a pencil to mark where the hidden studs are located. Unfortunately, most US contruction has studs on 16 centers and these 24 bars will need to be mounted vertically on one stud or sloped between two - unless installing on a dry wall and fastening onto a board that will bridge three studs. Figure for yourself, but paying $116 for Amazon installer is to me, goofy!

Exelente

Seems like good quality. Has a rough surface not smooth like picture looks. Easy install, covers at each end snap over screw plates, easy

I am impressed with these, very sturdy and attractive. I bought another set for the other shower!

built well heavy duty

Real happy with this grab bar. It was easy to install once I found the studs in the wall. Once installed it appears to be very strong and sturdy. Would recommend this product.

My husband installed these in my shower due to my recent knee injury. Installed where I needed them and now feel comfortable taking a shower again! Installed using screws, etc. NO suction powered bars...I dont trust them.
