Moen Home Care Bathroom Safety Designer24 Inch Handicap Grab Bar for Bathtub and Shower with Curled Grip, Elderly Assistance Product, Brushed Nickel, LR8724D3GBN

This grab bar is well crafted in nickel satin finish with indentations for the fingers on the inside of the grab. It works perfectly and is a handsome component of our recent bathroom renovation.

Love the look of this bar in our shower. The diameter feels just right for grabbing. Very sturdy and not slippery when my hands are wet and I step my left leg out of the tub. I have the shorter bar on the door just outside the shower so I have something to grab onto as I move my right leg out. Easy 5 stars from me.

This is a solid and well-thought out design with good materials. The best part is that the mounting plate has many holes and slots for a lot of flexibility in mounting. This means you can mount it into a stud with a higher probability of success and for a variety of angles..It feels very stable in the wall and in its own construction. Make sure to screw into a stud or ask a contractor to do it with the best anchors. Note that this does *not* include the fancy SecureMount anchor system, that is sold separately..I chose this model because of the mounting plate and because the covers to hide the screws looked a little more homey and not so industrial like the ones we see in public bathrooms. Unfortunately these covers have large gaps in them which, depending on your application and their angle, can collect some water. For use in a shower, I recommend sealing them up with clear caulk. Other than that, the design looks very nice and should fit with modern or classic bathroom decor..The screws it comes with are long and strong but the heads do tend to strip a little. I still used them. It also includes washers which is nice..I got one with the Curled Grip and one without. There isn't a functional difference. I like the look of the smooth one the best. If you are really concerned with grip-ability I would look for another design that is knurled..If you are installing this for a specific person, make sure to ask them their preferences!! A slight tilt (10-30 degrees) makes it much easier to grab and does not cause so much wrist strain. A 45 degree angle is not really necessary for many applications (like near toilet). Ask your loved one to sit or stand where the bar would be used and mark where their hand can reach and note the angles. This will make a big difference. I have had multiple surgeries and I learned this though first-hand experience. There are so many handicapped bathrooms and showers where the bars were just useless to me because I couldn't reach them..Overall, recommended and will likely buy again as relatives need them.

UPDATED 1/2/23: Added an additional bar shortly after the first bar was installed. It is now 2023 and it was a great decision and is so useful to have two levels. Added a new picture. That’s about 6 years and will last a lifetime.I can't find this product at my local Lowe's or HomeDepot anymore (in the dark bronze) so I ordered online. It was installed by a builder friend who had no problems with it (it is designed to handle considerable weight put on it and my husband who uses a wheelchair can attest to its strength capabilities).IT IS BEAUTIFUL! It also has gentle indentations on the underside of the handle so when you grip it, your fingers can grasp it better.It looks so nice that I'm going to order a dark bronze toilet tissue holder to finish off the decor.PICTURE INCLUDED to show that despite its dark contrasting color in the small bath, it can look great with a few dark accents (sink, faucet, corner shelves).

Great looking safety grab bar that match’s perfect with all moen bath fixtures.

Another great Moen product!

Attractive, sturdy, easy to install, functional.This bar has 3 holes for screws at each end of the bar. The end pieces go around the whole bar, no little set screws to keep it in place for this one. Finger hold on the inside edge help your potentially wet hand to grip well getting in and out of the tub.We have a very tall tub (clawfoot) getting in is ok, but getting out is a larger step. It was a little scary before we put this bar in.We did use longer screws as they had to go through tile, mortar, and drywall before they got to the stud we had installed especially with this device in mind. With that installation it will hold a fair amount of weight.I'm very happy with this grab bar by Moen.Oh, and it matches the towel bars.

Very classy. Much, much more stylish than the usual generic looking grab bars. Look beautiful in my newly rodeoed shower.
