Home Care 18 Inches Grab Bar Concealed Mounting, Antique Brass

How do you take it apart? There is one oversize, philips head screw to loosen, then the base disconnects, but then there is part of the base plate that will not disconnect to be able to use the screw holes to attach it.I do not want to use a punch and hammer to try to take the the plate apart.CORRECTION to my comments above about not being able to figure how to take the grab bar apart to attach it to the wall. This grab bar is finely designed, machined and put together. I looked for an easy way to take it apart, but I did not think that some inside parts were so well made that instead of falling apart or having screws to loosen or tight them up, the answer was to unscrew parts of the base plate which had some delicate machine work. The grab bar is beautiful, classy and well made. Ted

Brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc comes in an infinite shades, tones, or colors, as you wish. So once you begin with one manufacturer you must stick with the same brand if you want your brass to look the same. This brass has a higher percent of copper very similar to Baldwin brass which is a deeper reddish orange rather than a shiny silvery look of screws typically made in Mexico. Other than that it is well polished and all ends are well finished. I collect brass candle sticks, so am more of a connoisseur of the metal than most people. The bars are one inch in diameter and appear to be plated tubing stock. It makes for a nice finished look. And it is made in China if that matters to you.

The bar was difficult to install. The base plate is small and the screw holes are too close to the bar. Bar was scratched during installation. Now that it is up its a great help.

Color match right on for antique brass. Well made.

this is to help him up from the toilet seat after het use it. he need it hard for him now.

Excellent product. Well manufactured, excellent finish and extremely easy to install. Installation hardware includes screws along with hollow wall fasteners. I would highly recommend that the bar be screwed directly to a stud placing at least 2 of the 3 fastening holes over the stud.

Like the looks.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Looks great would have no idea it is a safety grab bar, blends it very nicely with decor.
