Moen R8712P 12-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Peened

Have yet to have installed but so far so good. Round size is just the proper size for both women and men. Hopefully we will install soon.

This was purchased to be placed near the bathroom shower. It is safe, easy grab area to be used while dressing or undressing. It provides stability and security. It was easy to install on one vertical wall stud. The mounting flange for this unit made that possible and easy. With the varied positions of the holes, I was able to drill three 2-inch screws into one stud at both the upper and lower mounting piece. The screws toward the outside of the stud are angled slightly to allow them to really bite into the more central part of the stud. The cap piece covered the screw heads in spite of being angled. With 6 screws into the one stud, the grab bar is rock solid and no wobble. Nothing will cause this to fail ( I hope} Although this was added as a basic dressing aid, within 3 months a member had a problem with the onset of vertigo and it was definitely beneficial to have this in place. Another was then installed I in the toilet area to provide assistance going from a standing to a seated position and back to a standing position. I am considering another to be installed near the guest bedroom shower. The screws are heavy duty stainless and excellent. I did have some problem screwing them down as my screwing bit was a little worn. You really need to predrill the holes into the stud just a tad smaller than the diameter of the screws. The screws need to bite into the wood, so they do not pull out. If you have problems putting the screws into your pre-drilled holes in the stud, back-out the screw and apply dish detergent liquid on the threads or rub a bar of soap over the thread. It lubricates the threads. and may be enough to assist getting the screw into position. The screws are a larger diameter, and my best guess is a size 10. As I said these are heavy duty babes. Although I did cam-out while putting in the screw, the screw head was not damaged. Good screws! The price for the 12 inch grab bar was great, less than 14 bucks. Since both ends of this grab bar were placed in one vertical stud, I only used screws. This unit does not come with the heavy duty securemount that is used for support when the ends are placed into drywall. The drywall mount must be purchased separately. If you mount horizontally, I would suggest placing one end into a stud. The other could be supported with a securemount into the drywall. That saves you the price of one securemount which costs a little over $11,

This was exactly what we wanted but the color was not what we were looking for. Looking for a cream color as advertised but it was really white sent it back.

Purchased this for our combo tub/shower. Already had 2 Grab bars installed, and decided to add a 3rd to back area of tub. Wished we had purchased the first 2 with the peening, as they are smooth metal. The textured grab bar make quite a difference. Mown quality didn’t disappoint!

We bought two short grab bars & one long grab bar & had themr professionally installed. They are so sturdy & strong and has a good feel to it when you grab hold. As senior citizens, we now feel so much better about getting in & out the shower & tub. Peace of mind*

I am glad my brother asked for this grab bar, he knew he would make great use of it in and out of the shower stall.

Is very helpful to my needs.

wE WERE SO PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT. iT WAS STATED AS BEING USED, BUT i DONT THINK IT EVER WAS USED. tHERE WAS NOT A SCRTCH ON THE BRASS AT ALL. iT WAS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF A NEW ONE.

The bar is very sturdy. My mother is 96 and this bar makes it so easy for her.

This safety bar is sturdy and has an apparently durable finish. I previously installed two of these to our garage entry door and ordered another for our rear door. The first two have been in use for two years and are working well. The bar is easy to install, there are a number of slots and holes in each of the mounting rings; just use 3 screws in each end.
