Product Overview
12S Folding Grab Bar for Blocked Walls
The 12S has a 12 inch hole-to-hole span, so it does not land on standard stud spacing. It mounts to 2x4 wood blocking installed between your studs, which makes it the right choice for tight spaces or walls being opened up during a remodel.
| 12S, 12 in (this model) | 2x4 wood blocking installed between studs |
| 16S, 16 in | Studs 16 in on center (one bay) |
| 24S, 24 in | Studs 24 in on center only |
| 32S, 32 in | Studs 16 in on center, spanning two bays |
The model number is the hole-to-hole distance. Measure your studs center to center before ordering. Not sure? Use the 3-step size guide.
