Customer Reviews of Medline 32 Inch Grab Bar, WhiteCustomer Review: Medline 32 Inch Grab Bar
As far as it goes, the grab bar is a good product. It's solid and appears well made -- but the design is very deficient. Most homes built in certainly the last fifty years have 16" on-center studs -- it's a building code requirement. So, a grab bar that will work in a normal home -- even if it's called a 32" grab bar -- needs to be somewhat like the dimensional lumber we now have: it's called a 2X4 but it's really a 1.75X3.5 piece of wood. Similarly, the 32" grab bar needs to be shorter than a full 32 inches in order that the outside (centered) screw holes actually grab some of the stud wood that they are supposed to be anchored to. I have seen some outrageously expensive designs which have variable screw holes (some as many as nine) so you can position your anchoring screws into the stud and not outside it. But that's an expensive and unnecessary luxury. It would be just as easy to make the 32" grab bar a 31" bar and move the upper and lower screw holes about 1/2" from their existing locations and you would have an exceptional product that would anchor into 16" on-center studs.
