Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  2. Mark Holes: Position the grab bar and mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
  3. Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, ensuring they are appropriate for your wall type (e.g., drywall anchors may be needed).

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap.
