Mainstays 9" Assist Bar with 7/8" Diameter for Bathroom and Shower Installation, White

The diameter of the handle itself is slightly smaller than most grab bars which allows your hand to get a better grip while using it as an aid to either lower yourself, or to get up. If you place them near your toilet, this will give you an assist to either lower yourself or raise yourself from the toilet seat without needed to install an elevated toilet seat if you have a standard size toilet. Because of the spacing of the holes in the mounting bracket on each side of the handle it is impossible to drive all three screws into one wood wall stud. I staggered my handle so that two of the three mounting holes are directly over the wall stud, and I used a drywall insert on the third mounting hole. In lieu of using the provided mounting screws, I purchased both 2 1/2 inch number 10 and 3 inch number 8 white headed stainless steel screws in order to get deep into the wood wall stud. I installed one of these handles near my toilet over 20 years ago and it has held up perfectly over years of use. A good value for the money.

These are wonderful sturdy grab bars. I have bought them before and recently purchased additional ones. Super easy to clean. Best part is they do not look like those institutional grab bars. Don't want my home bathroom to look like a hospital!! They blend in with my decor.

I ordered initially several years ago 4 of these grab bars. We put two on our front porch, on the house to joist up the front two step. We put two in our garage on either side of the exit door, to hoist up those two stairs. They are the perfect size, so then I ordered 6 for my elderly father. They are putting in bathroom, on the outside porches, garage inside.

These are a great option for smaller hands. We've installed 4 of them in our home since my Mom moved in with us and needed additional support while moving about. They are super easy to install and their small size is perfect for the locations they were needed.

It was exactly what I was hoping it would be and matched another one that I had in my shower. I also got it in a timely manner.

I have a balance problem. I have these in various parts of my home. They give me a feeling of being stable.

This really makes it safer for me to go down the step to my pantry. I will be installing more of them throughout the house.

These are great. Have used them for years.

Perfect for use as a handicap bar. Easy to install

Nothing is wrong with the bar. its very nice. BUT, I can save you a LOT of grief!!! DO NOT USE THE STUPID SCREWS SENT WITH IT!!! The screws are SOFT and will STRIP THE HEAD QUICKLY! Why on earth better screws arent provided to begin with is beyond me!
