S12aE18 - Retrofitting Grab Bars - You Can Do It!

I confess that I am “old school” and prefer mounting to a stud or blocking. But, Internet research says, this mounting should be OK. And considering that, I wish I had installed them BEFORE I needed them. I assume I should say “I’m not a professional contractor. Me myself and I are completely happy with them. Moen has a “Secure Mount” that has been third-party tested so that’s a definite plus. Perhaps this style isn’t your thing, no worries. But I did have a rationale for selecting simple brushed nickel/stainless. These are 300 series stainless (400 series is magnetic, 300 is not). I’ll trust them at their word on the gauge and specific alloy. Friends, there just is no reason to risk falling. I followed closely but not exactly ANSI 117.1A. This is a private residence, and the ADA does not apply. Additionally, it’s a retrofit.
