Perfect grab bar for stepping out of the shower

Perfect grab bar for stepping out of the shower
I mounted this on the tile just outside our sliding shower door, as my 83 year old mother was coming to stay for a couple of months and we wanted her to have something to help keep her stable as she stepped in and out of the tub.I used diamond tile hole saws to make openings for the screws, and used silicone seal around the screws and holes to prevent water intrusion. The tiles stop about 18" short of the ceiling, so I was able to use a stud finder above the tiles on the wall to locate the studs, then hang a plumb line to find the location of the stud behind the tiles.Once mounted into the studs this grab bar is super solid. I'm 6' 5" and not small and I felt perfectly comfortable hanging on it to perform a pseudo "fall" as a test. It looks exactly like the grab bars you see everywhere, meaning they aren't necessarily designer pieces, but they aren't supposed to be, they are supposed to be effective safety devices while not being ugly, and at that they succeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice bar. Well made. Good value
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018
This is a nice grab bar. Not perfect, but attractive and strong for a very reasonable price. I installed it vertically in a dry location near a toilet to help someone with bad knees pull themselves forward and up. (see photo) A little fussy getting it to mount to standard 1 1/5" wide stud due to the flange hole locations (not adjustable) but putting the bar on a slight angle worked well and allowed screws to be on alternate sides for maximum stability.
Oh, I found the recommended drill size to be way too small. I used a significantly larger drill to avoid stripping screw heads.
