Just the right type of hardware is necessary to adequately and safely secure handicap grab bars to wood studs, wood blocking, shower and bath walls, and drywall. Solid Mount Hardware is a very secure installation hardware specially designed to bridge the gap between a fiberglass shower wall and the wood stud.
