Does the chair lock in place when it it turned out toward the bathroom, or only when turned toward the tub/shower?

It seat itself locks in both directions. The seat also has locks on the slide rails at either end. Works very well and is easy to use.

It locks every 90 degrees where ever it is on the slide. So you can actually turn it around to face the other way inside the tub also. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions

There is a slight curve to the seat I have lost my left leg during the Nam conflict and I have found this seat to be just right for me in the shower, it is sturdy and does not slip on the tub floor. Just a note for you to also consider, It Has Quite a Number of Height Adjustments to it, I really like it. I hope this helps answer your question.

Hi Susan,The seat is used by my elderly dad and his caregiver gives him a shower. He has a removable shower head so she can direct the water for the shower, not sure how she gets around the curtain issue. I would think you could cut a section of shower curtain out where the chair is and then pull the curtain closed enough to cover the part of the seat near the edge of the tub so the water would fall back in the tub and not the floor.

I just trimmed a little off the length of a plastic shower curtain liner in the area where it goes over the chair just to get rid of some of the excess that bunched up. The cloth curtain is on the outside to hide everything. Works perfectly. Plastic curtain drapes over the chair & any water that runs down it onto the chair is channeled into the tub through holes in the chair. You can buy special curtains made to go over the chair but they are pricey...plastic liners are cheap. Have never had water in the floor. I love this chair. Only reason I'm looking is to find one for traveling.

It does not lock into place, but I don't find this to be a problem. I would not want it to lock. I am happy with the unit.

Yes it tilts. The shower head is on a horizontal axis that has a locking nut so that once you set it, you can twist to lock. Twist to unlock and move it at will. Works smoothly and easily.

There is no stop, it will swing either way if you install it as per their instructions the then the bottom rubber drip rail will rub enough against the top of the tub and that seems to be enough to hold the door in place. I like the fact that it swings out far enough as I enjoy soaking in the tub and it also makes it easy when cleaning the tub. If you have a toilet bowl close to the unit as I do you might want to make certain the bottom of the door clears the top of the bowl, for mine to clear I lift the seat.

The bench slides all the way from one side to the other, and it locks in place so the person can sit down without the bench moving and hold onto the handle as they are sitting down, then you can unlock the bench and slide it to the other side, and lock it in place. Then the person can hold onto the handle while taking a shower.

yes jef it can you just need to change the position of the one locking slide rail when you put it together and rotate the chair the hand rail is welded in place but by changing the locking slide rail the handle can be outside the tub or in left or right

Arms and Legs move slightly, but do not pivot. Yes it really can go in the bath tub.

You can lock it into place or you can release the latch and lean back - If you are considering buying this chair, know that the wheels break - I bought two of the chairs and the wheels broke on both. Just order yourself a good set of replacement wheels....not a big issue. The chair is very nice and has held up well. I have one of home and office and get compliments almost daily. I hope this helps.

It has a lever on the right hand side that you turn down and it allows the chair to recline to any position. once you get it reclined to where you want it just pull back up on the handle and it locks the recliner in that spot.

The chair can go back to where the tub curves up. The room from the up curve forward is all you will get. I set my chair partially on the up curve. Bathmaster tells you what the max slope to put it on, but it is pretty obvious. Measure the length of the tub in the flat area only and it is less about 3.5 inches. I gain a few inches by pushing into the curve, but my tub is VERY short.

It can be installed to face either direction. Once installed the chair will turn in either direction but the buttons that release it to slide stay on the side it was facing initially.

The chair adjusts easily up and down and side to side. Inside the tub the legs will probably be shorter than the outer legs

The Moen seat does not slip in the tub. It is very stable and allows easy access for those having mobility issues. This design has the wide side over the side of the tub, so the person using the seat must pull the shower curtain around so it is somewhat under their bottom to eliminate water from running on the floor. If this seat were used in an enclosed shower, this would not be a problem. The seat is easily assembled. I have not had the occasion to disassemble it.

No it doesn't that I know of. You can lock it using the handle on the right side, but if you don't lock it it will still rock. The handle on the left is the recliner handle.
