Croydex AP500741 600 mm Safety Support Rail Stainless Steel Grab Bar with Anti-Slip Grip for Bathroom, Chrome

I bought this to give something to grab onto when going up a 'loft-type' ladder into my garage roof space. Really does the job well. Especially coming back down. The length gives you something to hold on to while going down the first 3 or 4 steps, until you're about half way through the loft opening. A dawdle to install and is really robust. Looks well and gives that bit of safety so much needed. Would recommend.

Good quality sturdy handles with a nice finish. The knurled centre section is good for a non-slip grip. They are easy to fit and feel secure on the wall. ( I used M5 x 70mm coated screws.) The only negative is the covers that are a poor fit, but a dab of silicone holds them in place.

Safe and secure when you have wet hands in the bathroom and need support.I am disabled and use a wheelchair, but able to weight bare. I contacted the manufacturer directly for advice and they confirmed these as being ideal for wet rooms. I subsequently purchased 3 of these handles for installation in my bathroom wet area and they are just perfect. The nicely machined etching is fundamentally necessary to give a good grip when your hands are wet and slippery, I'm so glad that I chose this model and didn't purchase a smooth chrome finish. I should also point out that they are well made, look very solid, have nice concealed fixings and have an attractive appearance.

Really easy to install, with the screws easily hidden behind the cover plates, which rotate to fix. A good, solid grip, feels really secure once mounted - keeps me secure, no mean feat for a fumble footed buffoon. Worth every penny.

VERY STRONG once fitted with the six stainless steel screws (supplied). I just hope that the company's idea of ''stainless steel'' matches mine. Been installed just over a month now in a shower cubicle and no problems so far!The knurled finish (non-slip grip) is a VERY good idea for wet hands!

I had a problem with the one I received in that there was a slight twist in the rail, so that the circular mounting plates would not fit flush with the tiles. When one plate was fixed flat against the tiles, the other plate was about 5mm away from the tiles for about 3/4 of its circumference. I only discovered this when I fitted it (and stupidly had thrown the packaging away), so returning it was not an option. Also, having drilled six holes in the shower wall for it, the shower could not be used until it was fitted. I ended up packing out the non-fitting side with stainless steel washers, and sealing the gap with clear silicone mastic. It added several hours to what should have been a straightforward job. So, if you buy this, as soon as you get it, place it on a flat surface to ensure that it will mount flush.Having said that, it is a sturdy unit, with a good non-slip grip section for your hand. Because it is polished stainless steel, it is not as shiny as chrome.

The item is good and done the job I got it for.

I bought 6 of these to add to the bathroom thinking of my father who is blind and suffers from arthritis. He's unsteady on his feet at best of times.Once installed they now look great in the bathroom and the additional grip on the handle has given me peace of mind knowing that the setup is similar to that used in the hospital showers. I've used 3 in the bathroom and I will use the others accordingly in the separate toilet and around the house as needed.So overall I cant fault these bars for anyone in similar circumstances.If you get them for a decent price, even better. Even the used ones that I've bought look as good as new.They are a one off investment as far as I see it. I bought the 60cm ones just for the size of bathroom I am dealing with and for ease of use for him.
