For installing a vertical grab bar next to the shower or tub on a drywall surface, first determine the desired height and position of the grab bar. Keep in mind that a longer grab bar will accommodate users of different heights. Use a stud finder to locate the nearest wall stud. Once found, mark both sides of the stud with a pencil where the ends of the grab bar's mounting flanges will be placed. Remove the decorative covers from the grab bar's mounting flanges to expose the screw holes. Hold the grab bar against the wall, aligning it with the marked stud, and mark three screw positions on each flange. Ensure that two marks are towards the top of the flange and the third is towards the bottom for secure mounting.
