Using this grab bar is easy. Just mount it on the wall using the concealed anchors through the screw holes in the mounting flange. Then snap the cover over the flange to make it look clean. When using, hold it firmly to support your weight. Keep in mind that this is a commercial - grade grab bar, so it's built to last. For maintenance, wipe it regularly with a soft cloth to keep the satin finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the stainless - steel surface. Also, check the mounting periodically to make sure it's still secure.
