What tools are typically needed for installation?
Installation typically requires a drill, drill bits of appropriate sizes, and a screwdriver. Specific tools may vary based on the grab bar and wall type.
Troubleshooting
Grab bar feels loose after installation
Re-check that the SecureMount Anchor is fully braced behind the wall and that all screws are tightened securely. Ensure the anchor was installed in the correct location and that the wall material is suitable.
Anchor does not seem to brace properly behind the wall
Ensure you have drilled the correct size hole as per the anchor's specific instructions. Confirm that there are no hidden obstructions behind the wall that prevent the anchor from expanding or bracing correctly.
Difficulty installing the anchor into the wall
Verify that the drill bit size is appropriate for the anchor. Ensure you are pushing the anchor firmly into the wall as you turn it, allowing it to engage the bracing mechanism.
