Q:For 18 grab bar, instruction guide says all screws must be mounted firmly into a wood stud and that studs are usually 16 apart. If studs are 16 o.c., then wouldn't one end of bar align with stud but other end will miss the next stud by 2 inches?

Answer This Question
A: Thank you. If one or both sides of the grab bar are not going to reach a stud, we recommend purchasing the WingIt Grab Bar installation Kit.

Just what I needed for my front porch stairs. The install instructions were sufficient for my purposes.
I suggest trying #10 screws in your 1/8” holes before installing bar.

Defective screws enclosed
Bar is good. The enclosed screws are not cut deep enough to prevent these screwdriver from slipping. The instructions recommend a 1/8 inch drill bit but a larger drill bit is necessary to get the screws in. I had to go back and purchase hex head screws just to get the bar on the wall! Very frustrating!

I think this product is of good quality. I installed it vertically on the side wall of an elderly relative's stall shower along with a 36" grab bar horizontally on the rear wall. Mounting to studs was not an option because of where they were located. I used Bosch GT3000 carbide tipped glass and tile bits to drill 1/2" holes through the ceramic tiles and backing, which worked really well. Bars were mounted to the wall using 1/4" Fliptoggles. I needed 8 total for the 2 bars. They came in a package of 10. As many people have reported, some get lost behind the wall. I lost 2, even being really careful installing them. So if you go this route, make sure you have some extras. I used 2" long 1/4"-20 stainless machine screws instead of the zinc coated steel ones that come with the Fliptoggles because of the wet location. Wingits could have been used but would have required 3/4" holes (which I thought might be more difficult to drill than 1/2") and they cost a lot more than the Fliptoggles and stainless machine screws ($60 vs. $15 total for 2 bars). Aside from losing a few Fliptoggles the installation went smoothly.

I think this product is of good quality. I installed it on the rear wall of an elderly relative's stall shower along with a 24" grab bar on the side wall. Mounting to studs was not an option because of where they were located.

DIY Drilling and Secret Tips
The final result is satisfactory even great but a few problems came up during installation. Google search and Youtube videos really helped solve them. The instructions state 1/8 inch drill bit but the screws are bigger. We bought 1/8 inch carbide tip for tile but screws were too big so I tried skinnier screws. Initial start hole was difficult from slipping on the tile plus one carbide tip broke off. After watching expert DIY professionals, using masking tape and 2 types of drill bits made it much easier. We bought more carbide drill bits but with 4 different sizes. I redid the holes using 3/16 carbide tile tip to drill thru tile then changed to #12 wood drill tip for wood. After the bigger holes were drilled, I used instant glue on the screw shafts to adhere to the inside wall or they would be loose. (The instructions really should have recommended a size in between the 1/8 inch drill tip and the larger screws in the package.) This was for our mother and it saved us some money for labor by doing it.
