Answer This Question
A:Â For steel studs, you would need some kind of expanding anchor. I would definitely not recommend just using sheet metal screws to give you the strength you need.

A:Â Yes if have drill bit that can drill threw the stone!Â
by|Jan 21, 2023
A:Â Thank you. It can be installed on stone tiles, but you will need to have a drill bit specifically made do drill into stone. Also, if you can't screw into a stud, you will have to purchase the WingIts Studless installation kit. (SKU 147-567).
by|Jan 18, 2023
A:Â Yes it can but I suggest heiring a professional because they would know what type of drill bit to use and how fast you can drill. If you are good at this stuff I suggest watching some y-tube videos and practicing on a couple scrap pieces. Good luck.

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. 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 did use 1/4"-20 stainless machine screws instead of the zinc coated steel ones that come with the Fliptoggles because of the wet location.

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.

BUYER BEWARE!
Purchaesd this grab bar, the Wingits anchors, and Wingits drill bit, as the packaging for the grab bar indicated that it was Wingits compatible. All items were merchandised together and the use of a specific wall anchor SHOULD indicate that these products have been tested to determine that they are, in fact, compatible. This is not the case. Shame on Home Depot for such misleading packaging and display! To make the system work, I had to break apart the anchor system and use indelendently - but the end result still shows the location of 3 of the 4 anchors. Only able to include one photo with this review

Best decision i have made for safety
As a senior i have needed a grab bar for a while To keep my balance. I was actually using the shower curtain. This Glaclier Bay grab bar took some planning to get both ends into studs but installed perfectly by following directions. I even installed the towel hook to avoid reaching over to the vanity for towel. Handy man wanted $300.00, i did it for price of bar and hook. Less then $50.00. Bar is stainless with stainless screws and solid as a rock. Never felt more safe!!!
