Can the drop down arm be placed on either side?

Both arms drop down so you don't have to worry about turning the commode. This has been an excellent product for us.

Hi GenealogyGerri, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Steel Drop Arm Bedside Commode with Padded Seat and Arms. This commode allows you to drop one side or both sides depending on what works best for you.

It can be used on either side as it's "Ambidextrous" Just use care when setting it up. Good Luck.

Veronica Yes it can be installed on either side or even both sides. Just remember to remove it before backing up so not to damage anything.

Yes; it's pretty easy to place on the right shoulder. The left shoulder would be more difficult because of the placement of the velcro fasteners.

The side arms are not adjustable. However, they are easily removed and reinstalled by removing two bolts with nuts.

No.. only in the front. The arms come separate, and you need to install them. Recommend you buy a model with arms installed.

No. Its control is on one end and the arm extends the other (to cause the split).

So far as I know, the mount came put together and the arm can't be swapped to the other side. If you need it to swing out the opposite way, I'd guess it would have to be installed upside down....but you'd need to check with the manufacturer to verify that it is safe to do that (I don't know why it wouldn't be, but I'm no engineer...) I'm pretty sure the clamps do come off, so you'd just need to take them off and put them on upside down.

With this model the arm will be on the left side so you may have some arm hanging over with one of the awnings. It can't be switched to the other side. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes on the sides but you need to use two hands. Think of it like an ice chest/cooler.

I just installed it and yes it can install on both sides. There is a tiny switch on the mortise lock mechanism that you flick and you can take off the thing to adjust.

No, the side arms are not adjustable. They're locked in a permanent position.

You cannot 'lift' either arm. You can install both arms, or only one arm (left or right) as required in your bathroom. But each arm is stationery once installed. Note: The arm does wiggle a bit even when tightened down...but it's very sturdy to push down on in order to stand up more easily. And, when the arms are no longer needed someone can still use the seat so it's easier to arise from a higher seated position.

Correction: if by drop side you mean the way that the old school ones used to have one side that could be lowered then the answer is no. I thought I'd clarify in case there's a new feature called "drop side" that I don't know about. My brain is still foggy from these babies! ;)

Yes, you can attach it to either side. But I must warn you, it's very .... inexpensive because it's very poor quality and it's one light thump and one low ding
