Moen SMA1005CH Home Care Securemount, 1 Anchor, Chrome, S

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Firmly holds the grab bar. Build quality: Solid construction. The Instructions are good - read them several times. Gather the right tools. For a tile wall you should use a stud finder with deep penetration ability if you're on a tile or porcelain surface; these are available that also indicate if wiring or piping are close behind the wall. Use a diamond hole saw (with pilot drill) even on ceramic tile and especially on porcelain. I've installed three grab bars so far and my diamond bit is still cutting and should be good for at least a few more cuts; cool the bit with water a couple of times on each hole you make. I encountered an obstacle on one hole and had to insert the Securemount with arrow pointing horizontal; once in place I was then able to rotate the entire assembly to get the carrier arrow pointing vertical as required. In other words, be ready to adapt and overcome. Be sure to cover the drain with a cloth rag - you WILL drop parts, guaranteed.

These are strong and do the job when drilling into studs is not an option. Wasn't without its drama, as I dropped one behind the wall requiring me to order another one. Needs a fair amount of skill to install, but I eventually got it to work.

As advertised, good in theory but not suitable for my hand grab rail in bathroom. Will keep for future and make sure hand grabs compatible with bracket anchor

I follow the direction and youtube videos. I drilled tile with correct hole cutter and sheetrock. It all went well, the tile is slow so be patient. Installing the anchor is straight forward. Installed the bar, had to open the screw covers a little, The anchor seen very strong, it has made a big difference for us. The 1st was so strong I ordered a 2nd set for another bar. I do recommend.

The anchor system is excellent and easy to install. Very solid, when you pull on it the wall moves not the bar. When installing just verify that any insulation is pushed away so as not to interfere with the attachment placement. Also no need to put caulking around the base it already has a preattached gasket.
