Step 5 · Mount the Grab Bar

Position the grab bar over the drilled pilot holes. Insert the mounting screws through the grab bar's flanges and into the pilot holes. If using wood screws, drive them directly into the studs or blocking. If using anchors, ensure they are appropriate for the load and installed correctly. Tighten screws firmly, but avoid overtightening, which can strip the holes or damage the bar. Ensure the bar is snug against the wall.
