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.

Installed this along with a 12 inch bar in a newly remodeled bathroom for my elderly mother. It is nice because it does not make the entire bathroom look like a nursing facilitys industrial-strength bathroom. The white blends well with the overall bathroom and the hidden screws are nice as well. Easy to install with just a drill with a masonry bit (installed into tile).

I have fallen twice, and now I have to use old-folks remedies. This isn’t the prettiest grab-bar on the internet, but it is very strong, supporting my weight (235lb) easily. One of my falls set off my Apple Watch, so this bar is a necessity. The bar comes with two longish wood screws per connection. My wife had me use three, so I figure it will last as long as the wall now.

I remodeled a bathroom since my elderly mother was going to move in. This safety bar gave her something to grab onto when she first steps into the shower. I put a 12-inch grab bar to hold onto to step over the curb and a larger bar in the shower area. These are easy to install and are unobtrusive and do not make the shower look like an industrial care facility like so many of the stainless steel ones do. So think of your Granny... when she is nekkid, she will want a solid 12-inches of something firm to hold on to.

Since I had become unstable with my current cancer situation I had to put it in grab bars to help me assist myself up and down off the toilet and bathtub. I already had a towel bar in the location of this new grab bar so I just change them out had drill three new holes and mount. It was a very easy after my assistance where is how to use a drill it was a very easy after my assistance where is how to use a drill

Installed just outside of a walk in shower. To give a bit of stability on both entrance and exit Good match to grab bars already in the shower

its secured very good to wall does wats needed didn t spend alot

Installed in my mother’s home in preparation for surgery. Appears to be very sturdy!

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 product is indeed a lovely looking and solid steel grab bar that when intalled correctly will hold to the wall for any person no matter how large they are. Also, it will not rust or lose its luster over time. For a product coming out of China, this is well built. Thanks, Dr. GD Goldberg
