Can I use the secure mount anchors for this grab bar?

I would answer yes with caveats. The handles are designed for use with 2 non-tapered wood screws 3/4" apart at each end screwed into studs. A SecureMount has a single machine screw. That machine screw or a longer non-tapered head replacement could be used, one for each end. I would definitely recommend the use of a stainless steel washer, possibly needing some filing to avoid some toothpick sized plastic protrusions, under the screw head to spread the force better and prevent the head from chewing out the hole in the handle. The round flange supplied with the SecureMount would not be needed and would be very ugly and possibly compromise the long term strength of the installation. I would answer yes with caveats.

The key is attaching to studs! That will limit your options for location, but it should make it very secure. I would be cautious using anything that goes between studs since drywall or even lath would not be as strong. I doubt a 200 lb pull would immediately pull through then, but it would begin to shift. If the 'required' location is not lined up with a stud, put 2x4 attachment "studs" behind the wall where you choose to attach them. Of course then you will have to cut out some drywall and later replace it. By the way, I thought it was rated for 300 lb.

I don't know what "the secure mount anchors" are. The bar comes with two long lag screws and washers and instructions to securely mount the bar for a 200 pound capacity. To provide more strength and longer bars you would need to use a metal bar that can be fastened with more screws. I looked up the Moen secure mount you are talking about, and the answer is no, they only work on metal grab bars because of the metal surface plate. Technically they would probably work, but look terrible. There are many kinds of hollow wall anchors available at home stores, and you can probably find some that work.

Hello, the instructions say to anchor it into a stud using the provided screws. Any other anchors will pull out or tear out the wall if too much stress is placed on them. All you need to find the stud is a stud finder--an inexpensive, easy to use tool. Hope that helps. Art

My handyman attached this grab bar to the interior of my shower by securing it to the existing studs using the hardware that came with it. He had to go through the closet in my bedroom, but he repaired that wall and the grab bar is as sturdy as can be. Hope this helps.

We used the butterfly bolts, because they needed to be mounted securely through tile wall & drywall. This is to be used by a 120lb little lady. For her they are extremely secure. I don't know about a 200lb or more individual though. They are Great!

It doesn't come with any mounts. It is just the bar, so you would need to buy a mount separate.

The bottom screw of each triangle of screws I installed will definitely be in the stud. You must have additional screws on top and bottom "plates" to make the grab bar secure. Just one screw at the top and one screw at the bottom in the stud is a "no-no". Wall anchors are also a "no-no". There may be a way to get more screws into the stud if you know what you're doing. There are "slots" between the oval holes of the "plates". If you angle the long screws just right, you can put a screw through the "slots" so they can go on each side of the stud at the top and bottom of the grab bar. Just be careful so the long screws don't hit each other or you'll have a mess. You may have to get 4 thick shorter screws but it will be worth it to make the grab bar secure. Good luck.

Not sure how you would do that. Call the company they may have special mounts. Excellent product.

I mounted mine on a concrete wall so I bought different mounting hardware. I don't rmemember it being a big deal. The pull-up bar is strong and well made and a great value for the money.

If mounting on drywall then use drywall anchors, if in wood then you can use screws enclosed with towel bar

Yes. You should be okay provided the drywall is that thick. I would recommend hilti toggle bolts instead of regular anchors though.

No anchors - just rubber feet. You could probably fashion a mount with L brackets from the hardware store.

And if u already bought this bar, and not the Elite version, go to the manufacturers website (I believe trapeze rigging) and they can help u out. I think u can buy the stability crossbar separately. Well worth getting.

Whilst I cannot unequivocally state yes, there is nothing I see in the design wich would prohibit installation so long as you have a mount point. I purchased the Madjax universal mounting bar and retractable combo for my other cart. This was a perfect match. If I had any doubts, that is what I would purchase.

For a secure installation you would want to anchor with bolts or screws. If you Velcro the mount it may come off with extinguisher when you go use it in an emergency. True industrial 3M grade Velcro may work but anchoring with fasteners is always strongest.

I don't know for sure but I don't see why you wouldn't. All you need to hold one on each side is a hole in long bar (a person could drill these) for the bars to lock into.

I am not sure how you would do that, as the wire holder that comes with it, is designed to use on horizontal bars. You might could rig up something to make it work tho!

You should be able to attach it to your pull-up bar, or any overhead bar or beam, but make sure it's something that can support your weight, including whatever it is you have the bar attached to!!

You can not. It replaces them with the bracket for the bull bar. That's the only negative thing about it. Wouldn't want to try and pull on the bull bar either because the metal isn't all that thick. I've had mine for almost two years now though, and it has done everything I've wanted it to.

I used them to secure sliding class windows from being opened. It may depend on how your mount is anchored. I suggest you contact the seller and ask them.

I believe you can. Brackets are mounted with a suction cup, so this shouldn't be an issue.
