Moen Stainless Bathroom Safety 18-Inch Shower Grab Bar with Concealed Screws for Elderly or Handicapped, R8918

This looks really nice, and I like that the middle part of it has a slight texture to improve grip. You will want to determine where your studs are before you buy anything. Mine were 16 inches apart, so I got the 18 inch version so I could mount it at an angle. I also had to get a special drill bit to go through the rock or faux marble or who knows what I have.Also, as others said, the screws are just *slightly* too big for the hole it calls for. So after drilling (wetting the bit every 20 seconds to keep from overheating), I then kind of leaned the drill bit into the walls of the hole with a tiny bit of pressure, to carve out another millimeter or so. After that the screws fit in great.I highly recommend putting some silicone caulk in the holes to make them water-tight. What I did was left the screws half-way out, then put caulk all over the screw's threads and the hole, then screwed them in all the way. That way caulk got all around the screws, providing a water-proof seal. After drying, I then used the rest of the caulk tube to go over the screws again, just to make sure it was good and water-proof.Anyway, I've been using this grab bar for a while now, and it's great. No rust or anything like that, and it absolutely can hold my weight.

Excellent grab bar, Installed easily after locating studs. I was not able to use the studs since the spacing wasn't right for the grab bar. I used the Secure Mount anchors. The grab bar is quite secure. YouTube has several installation videos to help the install process.Highly recommend Moen grab bars.

We purchased the 18 inch version but they sent us the 24 inch version. Needless to say it was a upgrade to us. We still used it but at an angle due to it being longer than what we wanted. The included screws we didn’t like. My husband used 3 inch screws to fasten the bar down. It’s definitely heavy duty bar into stud walls. The quality is incredible. Our parents have no problem using it.

Appears to be high quality. Peened finish makes it less likely to slip. No doubt it will stand up if properly installed.

Great product and stability

This is an excellent product and only fails in the installation hardware provided. I have installed 6 of them in my home in the past year. My recommendation is that the first thing you do when opening the package is to throw away the provided Phillips-head screws. I contend that there is NO tool that will drive the provided #10 2 inch screw into a solid 2 x 4 pre-drilled at 1/8 inch with the provided screws. This requires a hex-head, torx-head, or star headed screw to keep from getting very frustrated. I suggest you purchase a better screw BEFORE you start installation.

Great sturdy non slip safety bar. Nice looking too

Excellent bathroom shower bar. Very safe...
