Product Information
Full details
The Rea Silver Bathroom Corner Grab Bar is designed for homeowners and caregivers who require added stability and independence in the bathroom. This grab bar provides a significant safety win by reducing the risk of slips and falls near showers or bathtubs through its reinforced, corrosion-resistant build. A notable caveat to consider is that this unit requires professional or DIY-competent installation using screws, meaning it is not a suction-cup model and will require drilling into your wall surface.

FAQs
Can this grab bar be installed on a shower stall wall?
Yes, provided the wall structure behind the shower stall is strong enough to support the intended load, such as reinforced backing or studs.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will typically need a power drill, drill bits appropriate for your wall surface (e.g., masonry bits for tile), a screwdriver, and a level.
Does this bar rust in a shower environment?
The bar is constructed from moisture-resistant materials designed to resist corrosion, though routine cleaning helps maintain the finish.
Is the grip area made of rubber?
The anti-slip section is textured metal, which provides a ribbed, tactile surface for better grip without the potential for rubber degradation over time.
Can this be installed horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the product is designed for flexible mounting, allowing for horizontal, vertical, or angled orientation.
Troubleshooting
The grab bar feels loose after installation.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened fully into wall studs or appropriate wall anchors. If installed on tile, ensure the anchors are properly seated.
The rosettes are not sitting flush against the wall.
Ensure that the mounting base is tightened completely against the surface and that no debris is obstructing the rosette from snapping into its locked position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Identify the desired position and ensure the mounting location has solid backing (wall studs are recommended for maximum support).
- Mark the drill holes using the base rosettes as a template.
- Drill into the wall and insert appropriate wall anchors if studs are not accessible.
- Secure the bar to the wall using the provided hardware and snap the rosettes into place to hide the screws.
Compatibility:
This bar is compatible with most solid wall types, including tile, stone, and plaster, provided that the underlying structure can support the weight load.
Care:
To maintain the silver finish, clean the bar periodically with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the protective coating.
