The Bar is Great.. Their Anchors are NOT!
These bars feel sturdy and safe and we like the peened finish because it looks good, has good grip, and doesn't get smudge marks very easily. Where it went wrong is they advertise WingIts anchors to mount the bar. We decided to try these out because they were recommended by Glacier Bay and they were awful and difficult to work with. Their recommended Apache200 bit was garbage as well and left a chipped and jagged hole. We finally pulled them and used regular pull toggle anchors instead.

    After a fall down the stairwell, I decided to install these grab bars. What a difference! I think better than a regular hand rail for a senior like myself. Find the studs, drill the holes and screw it down. Even I could do the install.

    These grab bars are made of high quality stainless steel and are finished very nicely with polishing and peening. I wish Glacier Bay offered their own secure mounting system for mounting in drywall and tile. I used the Moen SecureMounts (sold separately). I had to drill out the holes in the mounting flanges in order for the holes to align with the SecureMount pattern. Next time I will use Wingits. Overall, the Glacier Bay product is excellent.

    Good size for gripping on to. Numerous fastening options depending on what your attaching to. These were installed thru tile into studs. Lots of holes so you can install horizontal, vertical or diagonally.

    I have bought a longer one of these several years ago for a bathtub and it has served well, so I bought two more to add to a shower. The peened grip surface is great.

    I had the foresite to install backing lumber when I installed the shower. This provided a strong backing for the screws that came with these units. I did not have to utilize hollow wall type anchors although Home Depot handles a special type if you care to use them. Both my wife (ages 68 and 75) feel very confident when showering because of the handgrips that are etched into these bars.

    Product was easy to install, and, when mounted to a stud, very sturdy. We had a visitor who used it the first week, and he complimented me on the convenience of the arrangement. Before the Grab Bar, people were using the towel rack outside the bathtub to help them keep their balance when they either got in or got out of the bathtub. That poor towel rack had been pulled out of the wall at least three times (you can still see one of the screw holes from the most recent time). By cutting the towel rack down, and mounting the Grab Bar to a wall stud, I now have the best of both--a smaller towel rack and a Grab Towel. It is a safety upgrade I should have done a while ago. I consider it a very good addition to the bathroom.

    WELL MADE
    IT’S EASY TO SEE THAT THIS GRAB BAR IS WELL MADE WITH A NICE SLIP RESISTANT FINISH. OF COURSE IT IS BEST TO FIND THE STUDS TO IN THE BATH WALL TO MOUNT THE GRAB BAR. HOW EVER I INSTALLED THE GRAB BAR WITH LARGE SCREWS AND ANCHORS. I PUT ALL MY WEIGHT ON THEM ( 226 LBS ) AND THEY HOLD UP WELL THIS METHOD IS NOT ADVISED UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT. I USED FROM HOME DEPOT #14-16 x 1-1/2 in. Green Ribbed Plastic Anchor with Pan-Head Combo-Drive Screw (25-Piece).

    I work at a senior center for an organization that provides programs and services to seniors. Our Minor Home Repair program is one of them and our volunteer-driven Minor Home Repair teams goes into seniors homes and installs grab bars. We are using the Glacier Bay grab bars with great success. They are easy to install and look great. They can literally be a life-saver in the bathroom.

    Great purchase!
    With the proper tools we were able to install this bar in the shower. It is very hand for helping with balance while washing one foot at a time. I feel safe with it.
