Using this grab bar is easy. Just find a suitable surface to mount it on, and make sure the surface is flat and strong enough to hold the bar. After mounting, you can use it for support when getting up or sitting down in the bathroom or other areas. When installing, pay attention to aligning the flanges correctly and using the right tools to secure the mounting hardware. Make sure the snap - on flange covers are properly snapped on to protect the hardware. For maintenance, simply wipe the bar with a soft cloth regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild stainless - steel cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the satin finish.
