Using this grab bar is easy. Just install it on a suitable wall surface using the predrilled holes in the flanges and the recommended screws (not included). Make sure the surface is strong enough to support the bar and anyone using it. When installing, ensure the bar is level for the best stability. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the satin finish. This grab bar is built to last, but always check the mounting periodically to make sure it remains secure. If you notice any signs of damage or loosening, replace the mounting hardware or the bar if necessary.
