Moen LR8724D1GBN Bathroom Safety 24-Inch Designer Bathroom Grab Bar with Curled Grip, Brushed Nickel

This safety bar has no similarity to a “medical/hospital/nursing home” feel normally achieved by typical safety bars. It could be used for and pass for a decorative towel bar but it is strong enough to support heavy weight when properly installed. Extremely wellcinstructed, and durable.

Feels solid, looks good.

Am using this as a towel bar and it's very attractive and works perfectly. As others have mentioned, the clearance may be a bit tight if using for thick bath towels, but I'm using it for 2 hand towels and absolutely no problem with those. It also perfectly matches the Moen grab bar toilet tissue holder.A couple of installation tips:- If not securing to studs, the Securemount anchors do not come with this item and you will have to purchase them separately. They are easy to install, extremely secure and I recommend them highly if studs are not conveniently located. (Moen SMA1005CH securemount). They are sold individually and do not come in pairs so theoretically, you could mount one end of the bar on a stud, and use the Securemount anchor only on the other end. In actuality however, because the bar brackets are mounted on top of the Securemount anchors, if you only used the Securemount on one end, it would be visually noticeable.- Measure thrice because there is no room for error. Unlike normal towel bars, the bar and the brackets of this one, are a fixed distance and there is no wiggle room for error of bracket spacing.- For ease of working, once everything is measured, the brackets can be removed from the bar by loosening the set screws. This just makes it so much easier to maneuver the screws and screwdriver without having to try to angle everything around the bar and plate covers.

Third time purchasing these. Have in two different colors, three sizes. Very well made. We use the grab bars as towel racks for dual purpose. These look like nice towel racks not utility grade grab bars.

We were looking for something a little more stylish other than that fat hospital looking grab bar.

As we have gotten a little older, we were concerned about slipping in our shower. We did not want the "plain institutional' looking bars like one sees in hotels and when I saw this Moen I thought it was worth a try. I installed it today taking about 30 minutes, careful minutes because of our tile and used my own screws and inserts. The included screws are for stud installs only. And I was not sure what was behind my tile.In any case, the Moen secure mount method is well thought out and made things a little easier given so many areas to be able to place the screws. Once the backplates are in place you then attached the bar with set screws which I had my skepticism hat on about but once done, I am very pleased. I gave it a good pull and no movement (whew). Meanwhile, my wife loves the way it looks and the cushioned grips on the back side of the bar are an added plus. Glad I got this and will purchase another one for the other bathroom. Well done Moen!

I bought two sets of three different types of bars, including clever toilet paper holder-grab bar, in this series to install in both new bathrooms I'm building. Overall very happy with them. Grab bars are a good option - I plan to use them everywhere I would put a towel bar since they can do double duty. The quality is good and the chrome finish looks great. The base attachment allows screws from almost any point along the piece to go into your blocking, so it makes that part of installation easy, if you use that method. A couple of things about the design I would change are the size of the outer flanges and I would eliminate the "comfort grip" feature (padding on the back of the straight grab bars. Your thumbs make your grip secure and comfortable, not pieces of foam, so those are a gimmick that will wear out (predict they will eventually allow water damage and be impossible to replace) as well as being hard to clean. A smooth and structurally sound rail doesn't give the marketing department anything to brag about, but would be a better option. Because the flanges are the same size as the attachments, there is no good way to cover up rough tile edges. The best way to install them is right on top of your tile, but I didn't because I was using thin glass tiles (I don't plan to use that type of tile again) and the attempt to cut circles around the bases didn't go very well so my only option to cover up the ragged edge was a fat bead of colored caulking. If the flange was a bit wider than the base, there would have been margin for tile edges and clear caulk would not detract from the nice chrome finish.

Great! Love Moen. Looks good and is so nice to have as we get older.

It works.

La caja llegó rota y le faltaban los tornillos para instalar la barra 😞

Muy útil para seguridad en la regadera

This bar gives us extra stability in the shower, and the rubber backing makes for easy, comfortable gripping.
