Will the grab bars offered by DFW Grab Bars hold me?

*   A grab bar won’t be of much use if it doesn’t hold you up when you need it most.  Don’t purchase a bar unless it will hold up at least 250 lbs., that is obtained by adding your weight and the force you apply to the bar.

Can you grab the bar easily?

*  Your grab bar should have a diameter that is 1-1/4” to 1-1/2”.  Many bathtub and toilet safety bars aren’t designed to support a heavy weight and do not meet safety codes for people with disabilities.  Consider the products strictly as an assist, do not use them to support your weight.
