Moen R8712P 12-Inch Bathroom Grab Bar, Peened

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,

Nice product works as intended assisting in the shower for balance and safety and at the toilet at well. Should be properly installed to be assisting someone

Outstanding grab bar. Easy to install. Looks nice. Great grip. I’ve installed hundreds of these. They are my grab bar of choice.

I am happy with the handrail, it’s a great help when I need it! I have had to use them several times and each time I am happy that I can get up without help.

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.

Easy to install, durable, clean appearance, and provides a great solution for situations requiring something to hold on to.

Bought this to help my wife to get up off the toilet. It worked!! It was so easy to install. The directions were written for a 5 Yr old… so I understood. Highly recommend this vendor.

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

it helps gives support for going up & down steps

used in shower for wife. installed by contractor who advised that the correct mounting system must be used as determined by the wall structure. (tile, fiberglass surround, 2, 4, or 1 inch wall cavity requiring different mounting systems) Anyway, when done you could do pull-ups on the thing - which is exactly what is needed if you fall in the shower!
