Step 6 · Test Stability

Apply firm, steady pressure to the grab bar in all directions – up, down, and sideways. Push and pull on the bar to check for any movement or loosening. If any part of the installation feels unstable, remove the grab bar and reinforce the mounting points, possibly by using longer screws, different anchors, or by adding blocking.
