Frequently Asked Questions

Should I mount this grab bar vertically or horizontally?
Both orientations are safe and supported. Horizontal mounting near a toilet or along a shower wall provides lateral support for side-to-side stability. Vertical mounting near a shower entry or tub edge helps users push up or lower themselves. The best orientation depends on the specific location and the user’s movement pattern — a certified aging-in-place specialist or occupational therapist can recommend the optimal placement for your situation.

How do I install this grab bar securely?
For maximum safety, grab bars must be anchored into wall studs or solid blocking. The 3-hole welded flanges allow you to align at least one screw into a stud on each side. If studs are not available at the desired location, use toggle bolts or install solid blocking behind the wall surface before mounting. It is strongly recommended to have a licensed contractor or certified aging-in-place specialist perform the installation.

Will the white finish match my bathroom fixtures?
The white powder coat finish is a standard bright white that coordinates with most white bathroom fixtures, tile, and trim. Powder coating is more durable and chip-resistant than standard paint and provides corrosion resistance for humid bathroom environments. If your fixtures are off-white or cream, compare in person before installing — powder coat white reads as a clean, cool white rather than a warm or ivory tone.

What is the difference between a 16" grab bar and longer sizes?
A 16" grab bar is a compact, versatile length well-suited for toilet areas, shower entries, and tight spaces where a longer bar would not fit. Longer grab bars — typically 24", 32", or 36" — are better suited for along the length of a shower wall or tub surround where the user needs support across a wider range of motion. The correct length depends on the installation location and the user’s reach and movement pattern. We carry grab bars in multiple lengths — contact us if you need a different size.
