Can this towel bar be cut to a shorter length? How do you remove one of the ends?

Haven't installed them yet and presently not at the site so can't take a closer look. Wish I could help!

There is a little screw to hold the bar tight, remove the screw, cut the bar to the size you want(includes the hole) with hacksaw.Then put back the bar as you take out in reverse order.

It can be shortened, I just did it (August 6, 2014). Take off the obvious parts with the hex key (Alan) wrench that comes with this towel bar and an open end adjustable (Crescent) wrench. Then reach down inside the support with the hex key wrench to find a set screw. Back that out a bit and the bar slides out of the support. Then you can cut to length with a hacksaw. Very easy.

Yes. I did just that. You have to take the unit apart, but that is very easy to do and the bar cuts easily w/ a hacksaw.

Yes, no problem, you can cut to length. But then of course the cut edge will not be finished like the other three edges.

Yes it can be cut, it comes in two pieces and wound be easy to shorten. I will also say its tricky to install, but when installed it is very functional and gives the shower more room.

Without the towel bars the unit measures 43-1/2" end to end on top...I think bottom is slightly smaller

The bars could be cut - they have a rubber cap over the ends that could be removed and replaced.

Yes. You can cut it to any length you want and there are several different kinds of hooks available on Amazon.

No you can't cut them to adjust the length. Why would you want or need to ?

Yes I am sure you could. Simply cut off a few inches on each piece. The issue is the spring loaded insert that goes through the holes to determine the length. It probably could be moved with a pop rivot.

The towel bar portion itself is 18" (from suction cup to suction cup). The length in total, from the outside edges of the brackets, is 22". It is flexible so you could put the suction cups closer together, and the bar would extend further out from the bracket on each side.

I suppose if you have someone handy to help you. There would be holes where the towel bar was meant to go that need to be filled. Holes would have to be drilled where you want the towel bar. You would have to put the hoes for the towel bar along side the drawer. Probably have to use something to strengthen the bolts you put in for the towel bar. More trouble than it is worth.

I have the same issue - those little plastic bars on the sides have to be manipulated so you can close and cut. I could not find a way around it and do not use it anymore.

You can cut the length to whatever you need, and then seal both ends. They are not reusable.

It appears on mine that the rod and the two end pieces are separate pieces, so yes, I think you could cut the rod to the size you want (if you know how to do that). Mine looks very nice, by the way.

No, I don't believe so. I wish I could make mine shorter, but there's holes that all line up to screw it together.

You can unscrew the ends and remove the horizontal bars. The curved pieces that come out, where you screw the bars into, are welded and can't be removed.

It's not adjustable length wise that I can tell, but I have smaller paper on it right now. I'm thinking of using an empty paper towel roll as a spacer.

I didn't have to shorten it, but the directions from the manufacturer says it can be cut. I would think an electric saw would work.
