I see that "tile" is listed - I need to mount grab bars inside a tiled shower.... any special instructions for tile?

(from the inventor) Yes it will definitely work on tile over sheetrock if that's what's under your tile. As for the comment where the popper stayed up all the time, that's really odd. You either have metal under the tile or the popper is stuck. Go to studpop.com and send me an email for more help.

I honestly don't know. Did not try it on tile. Wait a second ... after this questions was asked out of curiosity I tried it on the tile in shower area. The stud remained popped up all the time. There was no sagging and then popping up as it does with normal drywall. I don't know what to infer from that. The unit also is not that strongly magnetically attracted to the tiled wall whatever that denotes. The tile I used in is ceramic tile typically found in shower stalls.

Ours did not come with instructions either :( We just had to wing it....the biggest issue we came across was the mounting depth for tile....it appears in the pics that the sprayers would be designed to mount with tile, but they are short so be aware! you may have to extend them with a straight connector. Also, nowhere does it say that there is another shower head necessary for all the stations to work, we had to purchase one separately.

What works for me on tiled walls is to clean both the surface you're sticking it to AND the suction cups with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth. Dry the surface you're sticking it to thoroughly. Dappen only the suction cups, then press the bar onto the surface you cleaned. Hold and press as firmly as possible near where the suction cups are located for a solid 30 seconds. For best results, wait a few hours to let it "cure" before using as intended.

My bar is attached to the wall some 6-7 inches above tile surround. I have approximately 8 inches of inner shower curtain below top edge of tub. No install issues, is straight forward

I actually didn't attach it to my shower curtain I went out and bought some metal coat hooks that screw into the wall and placed it above my bathroom tile in my shower worked great!

We used the handle grip on the shower stall and it has worked wonderfully and is a great help. We have not used it on tiles.

Well I am not sure about a textured shower floor. I have a textured anti-slip tub floor and it stuck just fine. Hope that helps.

Hi while I have mine into Sheetrock,you can mount it on tile. You need the drill bit and anchors. You can get assistance at any home improvement center such as a lowes. Also you may find a YouTube video showing you how to do it. Good luck

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

I don't have that problem. My shower is a unit made out of plastic? I wanted to connect the handles to the studs behind the unit, but the space was too great. Therefore, I purchased the suction cup handles which according to the description will support 200 pounds. To answer your question, it is not possible to miss the grouting line. Being that you have seramic tile placed directly on the wall, you should be able to fassen the handles directly through the tile into the wall studs.

I don't have my mounted in the shower. Mine are in my business restrooms near the sink. BUT, the wall is completely tiled and the thing doesn't budge. It comes with the whole back side covered in double sided tape. Super industrial. There are, however, mounting holes if you choose to go that way but it doesn't come with hardware. I'm curious if it would hold up in a shower with moisture, etc. I would recommend letting it sit mounted without any soap in it and stay dry for at least 1 full day. Good luck.

No, this one isn't the secure mount type. I didn't know they made one. Here's a video I found of how to install the "secure mount" Moen. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=non+drill+grab+bar+installation&sm;=12 You might also be interested to know that there is an ADA compliant grab bar which requires no drilling at all http://www.homedepot.com/p/No-Drilling-Required-Gripp-18-in-x-1-1-2-in-Grab-Bar-in-Brushed-Stainless-Steel-GB38018-SS-NDR/202819521?N=bz9r#. Information on how to install this type is in the comments section and also there are Youtube videos. I didn't do a search on Amazon to see if they carry those. Hope the answer was helpful. I sure learned something anyway. No, this one isn't the secure mount type. I didn't know they made one.

I wouldn't trust it myself on wood in a shower. The finish on the wood could separate from the wood. If the area is not a shower and would remain dry, it would have to be smooth. I always check the adhesion before using the grab bar.

We used rivet strips (sold on QVC.com) and it held in one shower and not in the master shower, both have ceramic tile. Still looking for something stronger for the master shower. Hope this helped.

Hello Patricia,We do not recommend that the pole be installed in a shower or tub. Because showers and tubs floors are generally sloped for draining purposes the pole may be difficult to keep in place. We would recommend that you install the pole just outside of the shower. You can then swing the grab bar in and out of the shower to help give you stability.

Hi,I bought one of these over 2 years ago and here's how I mounted it:1. Clean the area where you want to attach the bar(I used rubbing alcohol-l also cleaned the suction cups at each end)2. At each end of the bar there is a dial with "lock" & "unlock" direction shown with arrows.3. Position the bar where you want to mount it, press down firmly and turn the dials to the "lock" position 4. To release the bar turn the dials in the opposite direction.Hope this helps-Good Luck!!
