Using this grab bar is simple. First, find a suitable location on a wall where you need support, like in the bathroom. Then, use the predrilled holes in the flanges to attach it with the appropriate screws (which you'll need to buy separately). Make sure to place the screws firmly to ensure a secure installation. When using the grab bar, hold it firmly for support while getting in and out of the bathtub or using the toilet. As for maintenance, just wipe it down with a mild cleaner regularly. This will keep its satin finish looking great and prevent any dirt buildup. Also, check the screws from time to time to make sure they're still tight. If you notice any signs of damage, like dents or scratches, it's a good idea to replace the grab bar to maintain safety.
