Grab Bar Installation in St. Louis: Anchored to Hold a Fall

·4 min read

A grab bar is the single highest-impact safety install in a St. Louis senior home — and the one most often installed wrong. Grab bar installation in St. Louis done right means anchored into studs, placed where a fall actually happens, and rated to hold weight. Here's how we do it.

Where grab bars belong

  • Inside the shower, at the entry and along the wall
  • Next to the toilet, on the wall you grab to stand
  • At the top and bottom of stairs, on the railing side
  • By the entry door where you step in and balance

Anchored into studs

We find the studs — or use the correct anchors for tile, plaster, or drywall — so the bar holds the full weight of a fall. A grab bar that pulls out of the wall is worse than no grab bar.
