Moen Home Care Bathroom Safety Designer24 Inch Handicap Grab Bar for Bathtub and Shower with Curled Grip, Elderly Assistance Product, Brushed Nickel, LR8724D3GBN

I’ve lived with MS for 30 years and wish I had installed this sooner. The Moen grab bar was easy to install, extremely sturdy, and—best of all—looks beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a handicap add-on at all. The curled grip is comfortable and secure. The end caps took a little extra effort to put on, but you can clearly hear them snap into place, which is reassuring. This grab bar completely took away the dread and worry I felt using the shower. Such a simple change made a huge difference.

This is a solid and well-thought out design with good materials. The best part is that the mounting plate has many holes and slots for a lot of flexibility in mounting. This means you can mount it into a stud with a higher probability of success and for a variety of angles. . It feels very stable in the wall and in its own construction. Make sure to screw into a stud or ask a contractor to do it with the best anchors. Note that this does *not* include the fancy SecureMount anchor system, that is sold separately. . I chose this model because of the mounting plate and because the covers to hide the screws looked a little more homey and not so industrial like the ones we see in public bathrooms. Unfortunately these covers have large gaps in them which, depending on your application and their angle, can collect some water. For use in a shower, I recommend sealing them up with clear caulk. Other than that, the design looks very nice and should fit with modern or classic bathroom decor. . The screws it comes with are long and strong but the heads do tend to strip a little. I still used them. It also includes washers which is nice. . I got one with the Curled Grip and one without. There isn't a functional difference. I like the look of the smooth one the best. If you are really concerned with grip-ability I would look for another design that is knurled. . If you are installing this for a specific person, make sure to ask them their preferences!! A slight tilt (10-30 degrees) makes it much easier to grab and does not cause so much wrist strain. A 45 degree angle is not really necessary for many applications (like near toilet). Ask your loved one to sit or stand where the bar would be used and mark where their hand can reach and note the angles. This will make a big difference. I have had multiple surgeries and I learned this though first-hand experience. There are so many handicapped bathrooms and showers where the bars were just useless to me because I couldn't reach them. . Overall, recommended and will likely buy again as relatives need them.

Works great

Perfect for post hip replacement surgery shower safety.

I was disappointed to learn that they no longer included the SecureMount hardware for this item. So I bought the standard hardware with the silver disk, only to discover that I needed the bronze-colored SecureMount hardware as the flange mounts on top of the disk, it does not cover it as with other bars (see photo). In all of my previous experiences with SecureMount the flange mounts over the disk and hides it completely from view. This was an unexpected turn of events and I'm a bit less than happy with the outcome. Fortunately, this is for a guest bathroom in my house so I don't have to look at it everyday. Otherwise, this is a strong bar and a very strong mounting system. Highly recommended, but with the bronze-colored SecureMount instead of silver. Very nice grab bar!

Good quality, and OK instructions for installation.

If it's Moen you can't go wrong...I got another set to put in another bathroom and the quality and ease of installing (for someone else) was great. This set I forgot I wanted the person to install but I"m sure it's just as great a quality. The Moen company always does a quality product.

Best thing I bought to help for after surgery! Had a professional install so it was installed correctly and didn’t crack my tile. But well worth it to feel safe and looks good!

Como mencioné, es elegante, minimalista, cómodo (agarre de 1+1/4 in), caro pero de calidad aceptable, el color es muy agradable combinándolo con otros accesorios y detalles del baño o zona donde se vaya a instalar. Recomiendo sellar un poco las conexiones a la pared con silicón o sello de fuerza baja (en las bridas y tapas de la misma), se ancla bien aunque en ciertos acabados puedes requerir diferente longitud de anclaje o herramientas sobre todo en tablaroca, en mi caso lo instalé en un muro de concreto y quedó muy firme, claro limpiando y preparando las perforaciones para anclarlo a la pared y usando los diámetros correctos de perforación y "taquete". Aunque el producto es caro, su apariencia lo refleja, la barra es ligera y está aprobada para personas con alguna discapacidad, esto claramente, si sigues las normas e indicaciones para una correcta instalación, las tapas de las bridas quedan muy bien ajustadas dan una apariencia limpia y uniforme, quizá se merece 4.5 de 5 estrellas, pues el único "pero" que le pongo es que el calibre del asidero debió ser algo más grueso, pero no digo que sea insuficiente. Es un producto recomendable y se siente bastante sólido.

Our shower is in the tub with a step up. Should have installed this years ago. Don’t wait for a fall.

The product description indicates the grab bar can be installed with SecureMount hardware. Not only does it not come with the hardware, it cannot be installed with it. Therefore, it has to be installed on the diagonal and into the wall studs. If it's not installed into the stud, it will pull out of the wall.

Installed in new bathroom. Looks great with a nice finish. Well made, feels substantial with grooves in the back that make it easier to hold. Very happy with this Moen product.

Very sturdy.
