If you need a grab bar, this one fits the bill. It is not the "elderly-looking" grab bar of the bathroom variety, so it can be placed in doorways or wherever you need a hand up. Mine is placed in the jamb of the back door to help when I come in with groceries. It was recommended by my physical therapist after I broke my shoulder at age 72. The therapist was impressed when he saw it as it is discreet but attractive and very, very sturdy. I've ordered two more for my sister who needs a hand up as well. Great item. Recommend.

Well made, love the magnetic feature, so it can fold out of the way. Very useful when you need a bit of help getting up or down, but don't have room for a full grab bar.

I installed it ahead of my knee surgery and it worked out great. Didn't want to install a full banister in this small space and I just needed something to grab onto as I stepped down. This turned out perfectly.

I honestly thought this was a pair of grab bars but it is only one, my mistake. It is overpriced by about ten dollars compared to other sellers here selling the exact same item. My recommendation is for buyers to keep looking.

My parents moved in with us a year ago, at the age of 87, which brought about a flurry of grab bar purchases and installations in various locations and of various designs depending on what was most appropriate for each application.This particular bar was mounted in the doorway (on the doorway frame) between the porch and the kitchen to assist with getting up and down the one step between the rooms. The step is a bit higher/steeper than it should be, just enough to make it even more challenging and in need of an assistive grab bar. We didn't want anything that would statically stick out too far, encroach into the doorway space and impede moving large items in and out, such as furniture or possibly an ambulance cot, etc. This little (but strong) grab bar fit our requirements very well. HOWEVER, it NEVER did flip up by itself when not in use, its internal magnet not nearly strong enough to accomplish that. That was a major disappointment at first. On the other hand, having it up against the threshold and not visible (for the most part) can put it "out of sight, out of mind" of the very people who most need to be using it. My parents did have to be reminded that it was there in the beginning, but it eventually stuck with them, and they learned to use it consistently, very grateful for the assistance it provided (especially when going UP the step).Though its internal magnet is not strong enough to pull the little grab bar upright on its own, once it is manually put in that vertical position, the magnet IS strong enough to keep the bar vertical and out of the way until someone again pulls it down to use it.All-in-all, despite its inability to "home itself", I am deducting only one star due to the following qualities this grab bar does have going for it. I also recommend it for the same reasons. **Its small, unobtrusive size **Its favorable design and function for use in tight spaces and doorways **Its rock-solid stability when installed on a doorway frame or other wall stud, using screws that are appropriate for the task. (Hubby ditched the screws that were included and used screws he had on hand that were stronger, longer and better suited to the force that is applied when an adult uses the bar to pull their weight up a step.) **Its relatively low price for an assistive mobility device (There is another version of this same type of grab bar now being sold here on Amazon that uses a spring [vs a magnet] to supposedly flip itself up automatically when the user lets go of it. It is the only one of this bar style that I was able to find here that uses a spring. I intended to buy another of these little fold-up grab bars to mount right outside our new walk-in shower to provide one more stable bar to grab onto when stepping from the shower to the bathroom floor. I decided on another type of bar but am curious as to whether the spring-loaded version of this bar actually succeeds in folding itself up.)

I lean on it every day to get up after putting on my shoes.

I was looking for something to help me get over the threshold into my house. This is a fantastic little gadget, and it works like a charm. I just bought a second one for the other side of the doorjamb. A little pricey, but so worth it. I'm normally searching for something that probably doesn't exist, but was pleasantly surprised when I found this.

Love those handle, solid when you need it, and easy out of the way by folding it, perfect size and well designed, my wife was recently partly disabled after brain cancer surgery, really helpful to help with her autonomy n

As grab bars and these things go, this is a great little thing, little costly if you ask me, but, worth the extra due to them not sticking out a mile when obviously not in use, as you can put them up, secondly, like I mentioned in another product review for something else, this doesnt have the "NHS" look about it, so, blends in.Really solid when fixed (I put 2 on my mams staircase, one at the top and one at the bottom newel posts for when she's hopping on-off the stair lift), comes with good quality fixings... I put 4 2mm pilot holes in each newel before screwing and the screws just went in (With just a bit of pressure) with no camming out of the screwhead when driving them home.Again, the only let down is, I do think they are priced slightly too high, but then, it is what it is, if it wasnt for the fact they are really a good idea, well built and no mucking about when fixing, you can let that slide.

For a home with only 1 person with mobility issues, these grab bars work really well, easy to push out of the way for me, easy for my husband to flip down for his use. And the do not restrict the space for paramedics attending.

I fitted several of these to help my disabled wife in the toilet and at the front door. It has given her improved confidence.

The supplied screws were too long at 6cm but would be super safe if usable, I used 4cm long sturdy screws, which would hold almost anything of a practical weight. I like them and they are all installed. Quite pricey, but a specialist area. I recommend them, I am 92,
