Tip of the year: Put the plug in the tub drain. Or put something over it if the closer is inside the drain. If a setscrew falls you won’t end up in a situation where you have to mount the handle with less than the 6 setscrews 🙂 I know there where spare ones.. But better to not have setscrews in your drain.

You can add a rubber gasket over the drill bit. It absorbs the impact when the drill bit makes its way through and the chuck slams into the tile.

You kind of glossed over the hardest part (for me anyway) which is finding the studs through the tile and then figuring out exactly what angle and what place the bar goes to hit them. I also have to question how you hit a 1.5" stud with three screws when the plate is something like 3" in diameter. Every house I have ever owned is framed with 2 x 4's on 16" centers. IF I find the studs on the first drill hole and line two of the holes up and hit that stud, then, the last screw 3" to the left or to the right is NOT going to hit any stud. Did I miss something in the explanation?

@mediaadrenaline
@mediaadrenaline 2 жыл бұрын
He obviously did not cover locating the studs which is the most important part of the job. A stud finder will not work through tile. If the tile does not go all the way to the ceiling, then mark your studs with a studfinder above the tile then, using a level, follow a straight line down from where you found the studs up top. Now, if the tile goes all the way to the ceiling, then you’ll need to use toggles. DO NOT USE EXPANDING ANCHORS- they will crack the tile.

@@andreabasney Fiberglass surrounds have a nailing flange at the top and side edges. When installed, the walls of the surround stand off from the wall by 1.5-2 inches. You need a brace between the stud and surround wall. Very challenging to do from shower side. Easier if you have access from the other side of the wall. Consider removable suction device or call a carpenter who knows how to do it. VERY challenging DIY project.

how do you determine where the studs are behind the tile? Maybe you already knew where the studs are since you just installed the tile. I don't think a stud finder will work over tile... I assume there's a stud at the far corner of the shower. Do you just measure 16" over and hope that's the middle of another stud?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY
@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 жыл бұрын
It is pretty common for stud to be vertical at the outside corner of the tub. If you are not renovating and want to add on then this is the best option. If you can't find wood then you should open the wall from the other side if possible to geter,min e the positioning. Worst case scenario you will need to install a new tile wall surround. That is worth the investment for safety of elderly family. Cheers!

Falling sucks at any age, but when people get older its much worse. My 83-yr-old uncle just fell and broke his hip (although, it was in a hallway at his assisted living facility-- his foot hit the leg of a couch in the hallway & he tripped). He's in a lot of pain right now but is in good spirits at least. He's got a shower with grab bars that he's looking forward to getting back to when he gets out of the hospital. We need to renovate Mom's bathroom and fix it up so she can safely use the shower. She has balance issues and falls easily. I already bought the grab bars and the shower kit but need to tear out the old one, repair/replace subfloor, and add backers for the grab bars once I figure out where she wants them. Moen makes some beautiful grab bars. I got some of their Home Care ones for Mom's bathroom. The allen keys don't always come in the package, which is so aggravating. And those tiny set screws are a pita. I got a Moen tub spout that needed the allen key but didn't have one included and it didn't even say what size it needed on the box. I had to get one of those multi-set ones and play around with it until I found the right size. Magnets are your friends when dealing with small screws. "Totally set-screwed" LOL!

You can get an electronic stud finder from a big box store. They are not very expensive and run on AA, or 9V batteries, typically. You place the device on the wall in the area you want to check, push the button to turn it on and then move it slowly until it indicates that it located a stud. They usually have lights or digital displays that indicate either the center or the edge of a stud. Probably better to get one that is center-reading, but it's a personal preference. Anyway, that's just a quick answer, the details for whichever device you buy will give you all the info you need. Fancier ones will tell you if there is something metal behind the surround (perhaps a water pipe), or if you are near electrical wire. Those cost a bit more.

How do I go about drilling Porcelain, or should I just shoot myself now? Using two screws on the studs made me nervous, but the 3rd is unlikely and the fourth will never hit the stud, so go figure. I despise that set screw system you were fumbling with but respect your rational as far as I can follow it. I would go with a simpler system with lots of clear silocone shloshed around.

Not all contractors/handymen are created equal. The grab bar probably wasn't installed properly to begin with. If it's just the ring that covers the screws being loose they just pop on the grab bar. May have to clean the old silicone off and put some new silicone on to get it to stay in place. If the main support screws are loose then I recommend getting someone involved who cares about how they work on things.

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thank you Jeff, since it is 'just me' using it just to steady myself getting into & out of the shower, which does have the sliding doors, as we know, those doors are flimsy & if one would grab those, ugh oh, they might pop out. Thanks, I'll be installing the grab bar likely next week, I'll let you know how it goes. "Donna"

Hi, my showers have a surround comes into the shower over an inch, it looks like tile. How would I install safety bars where the surround is not flush on the studs?

How is it that you have wood to screw into on every screw? did you plan ahead for this? I am ready to put cement board up over my new bathtub. Should I add some backing for the grab bars?

Those hole spacings look wider than a common stud...you might get lucky with two of the holes, but the third would likely not catch enough meat to hold well over time, or--more likely--miss the stud all together and just be swimming in the tile and backing. Maybe two is strong enough? Now, if you were lucky enough to have double studs on both ends...well then, you're golden....I do not, though, and will be probably be using a toggle for the third hole

Would you install a grab bar the same way when using the Kerdi Membrane waterproofing? Would the screws void the guarantee?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY
@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 жыл бұрын
The bar is on the opposite side of the wall. so no worries there. If you are vapor conscious then you can always use a little silicone in the hole first and after installing the hardware. Cheers!Cheers!

He slanted it to hit both studs, but its more inconvenient to use a bar at that angle. Your wrist would have to twist.
