Moen LR8724D2BN Home Care 24-Inch Grab Bar, Brushed Nickel

I recently ordered two of these 24-inch grab bars (and one 16-inch). One of the larger ones was for my shower; the other two, for my husband's. He recently had hip replacement surgery and we needed to make the house safe for him. I had resisted the bars before because I didn't want ugly chrome bars in newly remodeled showers with brushed nickel fixtures. These are perfect for our needs and are working well for us.

This product and a 16" grab bar arrived as promised and were a breeze to install. The mounting flange allows many arrangements of the fasteners to ensure a firm mounting. We are very pleased with our purchase in quality, price, and function.

I bought this to use next to the tub/shower in one of our secondary bathrooms, so that while stepping over the tub rim when getting in or out there would be something to hold onto instead of just the weak towel bar or sliding shower door. The finish of the grab bar is brushed nickel rather than the normal plain stainless steel, so it matches the other finishes in the bathroom. The escutcheons on the ends are decorative and also help eliminate the institutional appearance of many grab bars. The bar itself is well designed, extremely strong, and the flanges allow for mounting screws in many postions to match whatever wall conditions you might have. After installation, no mounting screws are visible.

I used a Moen "Securemount Anchor (SMA1000)" on one end of the grab bar, since it needed to be mounted on drywall with no stud or blocking behind it. It is a perfect solution when there is nothing solid to screw into. The lower end was screwed into existing blocking behind the wall. The overall mounting is so secure that I can literally hang off the grab bar.

With the 24 inch grab bar mounted vertically and centered at about four feet, it can be conveniently reached and used by both children and adults. It simultaneously overcomes the hazards of a slippery tub, wet floor, and loose floor mat. The improvement in safety is dramatic with no real loss of aesthetics as the style of the grab bar is similar to a towel bar. I think a grab bar like this should be required in the building code for all tubs and showers.

This grab bar is the same as that which is sold by Loew's, but at a better price. Also, the Loew's near me did not have much stock. At Amazon I could buy the nice "brushed nickel" look with no problem.

It is sturdy, good looking, and perfect for getting in and out of the shower.

Moen has gotten really good at making really cheap crap look really good.

Up until the point you realize the finish that makes you think you are buying metal actually ends up being some weird brushed plastic coating that does not react to dings like real metal.

This thing is pure garbage. We have also found that the Moen toilet handles break after only a year of use. Made out of pot cast metal in China.

Forget this garbage and forget this company.
