Using this grab bar is easy. Just install it in the desired location using the concealed anchors through the screw holes in the mounting flange, then snap the cover over to hide the screws. When using, hold the bar firmly for support. As for maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft cloth regularly to keep its satin finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Also, check the mounting periodically to make sure it remains secure.
