Moen Chrome Bathroom Safety 16-Inch Designer Shower Grab Bar with Concealed Screws for Handicapped or Elderly, LR8716D3CH

I have these in all my bathrooms in the shower and tub areas. The smooth, rounded finish provides an easy and comfortable grip for assistance. I also have them horizontally in the back of the shower and bath areas to not only serve for my assistance but also to hang my washcloth and my back brush. So they serve as grab bars and towel bars too. I can't be two purposes for one item!! The brushed nickel finish is quality and the bars themselves are substantial, providing confidence for me in the bathroom. Lastly, they are stylish, but at the same time a little inconspicuous in that they don't draw attention. They just wait in the background to you help when needed. :-)As for installation, my contractor has never once complained about them. In fact, he said I made a good choice and refers this particular brand/style of grab bars to other customers now too. If my contractor thought a product was difficult or unsafe for me to use, he would surely let me know. I have both, 18 inch and 16 inch, but mostly 16 inch. Over the years, my contractor has installed 7 of these life savers in three bathrooms so far. We have one more bathroom left to remodel and we will probably install 3 more there. When I find something that works for me I usually don't change the course. I buy what I know from experience works!!!As far as grab bars go, this particular brand/style is the one I purchase for my home. If you care about yourself and/or your family that may need assistance at some point (could be anyone, at any age) these grab bars are the way to go, safe and comfortable to use.

Typical Moen great build quality. Easy installation.

When you need a grab bar for security, a strong and sturdy one is critical. This grab bar meets that need. As a bonus, the trim is very nice and doesn't make the bar look like it is at the hospital.

Couldn't find the studs through the porcelain tile and backing board but I knew where the studs were from when I installed a shampoo pocket in the shower.Carefully laid everything out, drilled the super hard porcelain tile with some cheap diamond drills from here on Amazon, they worked great, just take your time and use a little patience.Looks great and works great, even if not needed it does lend a feeling of security knowing there is something to grab onto in case of a slip.Pro DIY'er tip: A reviewer complained about the screws rusting over time and staining his tile. Use Plumber's Putty to cover the screws and the mounting bracket before sliding the bezel on, use lots of putty to basically fill the backside of the bezel and that should take care of any water getting trapped in the bezel and corroding the metal.Here's a link to the drill used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915CVVSF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Been needing a little "assist" getting up from the john lately so this item seemed to fit the bill. Installation is super easy and quick. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the quality of the furnished screws. The metal is very soft. Even having drilled pilot holes I managed to wreck the heads on two of the screws. I'm an experienced DIYer so I will blame myself when necessary. In this case it's the cheap screws. Overall, I will recommend it. With 3 screws above and below the bar feels solid as a rock. Think I'll get another for the shower. I'll probably go through my hardware collection and choose a better screw.

This is the second one I purchased after installing one and we liked it so well we wanted another. I am glad I ignored the negative reviews. I had already bought and installed one 16" bar and we liked it so well we bought another. It seems all the grab bar brands have some negative reviews. I feel the Moen quality is quite good. The brushed nickel matches our fixtures nicely. The bar was fairly easy for me to install, especially the 2nd time! The hardest part for me was drilling through ceramic tile wall in the bathtub area, but I did it slowly and carefully. The screws they give you can be fairly easily stripped so I screwed them in carefully to prevent that.Once installed I used silicone caulk around the mounting bracket to seal out moisture to prevent rusting of the screws and mounting bracket. Then slid on the covers and sealed them too. Looks great, strong, and secure. I recommend them.

Sharp looking and easy to install, these grab bars are good looking without being obtrusive. Moen quality.

I definitely recommend Moen grab bars

Had this for over 5 years. Still is good shape and condition. No wear of finish and the price is reasonable

Moen product you can count on.Attractive and also a good safety add on for prevention. On time delivery. Highly recommended for everyone.

Easy to install and good quality
