How should I go about installing grab bars?

Suction cup grab bars can provide light support and may be suitable for those who need balance assistance. However, they should never be relied on for full weight support, and aren't recommended for those who need substantial support, in which case a screw in grab bar would be preferable. It’s important that they are inspected and the suction indicator is showing as safe before each use.
