Moen CSI LR2352DCH Home Care 8-Inch Grab Bar with Integrated Toilet Paper Holder, Chrome

I had these installed to help my husband who is disabled. They are very sturdy and do hold quite a bit of weight as described. They are pretty large though, so still a little institutional looking but not as bad as just a plain grab bar. Delta makes one that looks less ADA but also has a much smaller bar to grab so if you need to get a real firm grip, this is the one to get. I would also do as others have suggested and install it so it slants ever so slightly upward so as to better keep the toilet paper on it. I have had the toilet paper slide off of mine a couple of times when it was bumped. Its only happened a couple of times so its not a real big deal but is easily avoided if you install it on a very slight slant. When we had ours installed, I had to remove a recessed toilet paper holder in one bathroom. Then we had the problem of what to do with the hole in the wall. A builder friend suggested installing an oak panel on the wall and then just drilling and screwing directly into that. The oak backing is screwed into studs and the toilet paper holder is screwed directly into the oak. Its very sturdy that way. We made the oak backing long enough to go over two studs to make sure this is sturdy. This meant we didnt have to drill another large hole in the drywall to anchor the toilet paper holder. In another bathroom, for some reason there was backing in the entire wall next to the toilet so we didnt have to worry about where to place the screws. They all went directly into solid wood so we didnt have to worry about making a large hole in the wall. If youre remodeling and have a choice, ask to have backing placed in the wall between the studs so you can screw items like this directly into solid wood, so you dont have to make the large holes for the anchors. The only other drawback was that this did not come with screws for screwing into studs or hard wood, only the anchors. I had to purchase long screws to make sure this was securely fastened.

We purchased this grab bar-toilet paper holder in combination with Moens 30-inch Flip-Up Grab Bar (R8960FD) for my 96 year old mother who had tried everything else in her struggles to be able to use the toilet safely and without foreboding. Nothing else worked...bedside toilet, taller toilet, booster seat for increased height on the toilet, arm rests that attach to the toilet, etc. Any device that had to be secured to the toilet eventually rocked or wobbled or just seemed iffy. When we installed this grab bar disguised as a toilet paper holder on a wall to the side of the toilet and the Flip-Up grab bar to the wall behind the toilet on the other side, the problem was solved. Both supports were firmly attached to the walls, no anxiety about whether the connection would come loose. My carpenter stood on the Flip-Up grab bar to test its strength! When its up, the bathroom looks pretty much like any other.

The Moen grab bar/TP holder looks great and feels very secure when using the grab bar feature. Pretty easy to install. Happy customer.

Good product to help support surgery movement limitations. Easy addition to bathroom without making it look like a hospital room

Had another one- if one sells their house, they may not know it is part assistant!

We have a small bathroom and two adults in the household who need assistance to sit and stand up again. This is good looking and works well for both purposes. The only thing I might change would be to make the end flange that keeps the toilet paper on slightly larger, though this one still works better than our old single use holder which was broken when it was grabbed at to slow a fall. With hindsight I should probably have installed it with the open end slanted slightly up. This would not be hard to do with the installation hardware included. The paper would probably stay put better if there was room to install it on the left side (from a seated position that is). Great product, elegant and functional. Feb 20, 2014 Had to move due to a house fire, and this is one of the first items that we are buying for the new place. Cant think of any combination of tp holder and grab bar that would work as well.

My husband has Parkinsons and needed support to use the toilet. We wanted a product that was attractive, serviceable and not institutional looking. This product met all the criteria. Installing it is a little tricky because of the hidden screws. We remodeled the bathroom and installed this using wood placed behind the dry wall between the studs. Its a life saver, looks great and performs multiple functions. We will be buying more.

Works well for my husband . Contractor installed without issues

I doubted the installation claims if only one end attaches to a wall stud. I was wrong. Im 235 pounds and it has handled my weight since installation.

Love the fact it’s a toilet paper holder and safety bar/handle. (Install done by contractor)
